The Whv of Emancivation
More than three score years ago abraham Lincol
then President of the United States of America, issued the
memorable Emancipation Proclamation liberating Ameri
ecan Negroes from one of the most degrading and dobnnabl:
sccial systems that ever held sway among civilized nations
If some one should argue, that the primary purpose for the
issuance of the emancipation proclamation was not to free
the Negro. but! to save the Union. the fact still remains,
that its effect upon the status of the Negro was none the
less of far-reaching ‘mportance.
« Much has Fo:on said recent'y through certain new:
papers and magazines, to the effect, that had the North
not interfered with the status quo of slavery as it then ex
isted, the Scuth in a comvaratively short time would have
voluntarily set free all of its slaves, Nothing had gone be
fore, nothing immediately followed, nor after more than a
half century are there very strong indications that the
average slave-holder of that day entertained the remotest
idea of liberating his slaves.
So much for that: The why of Emancipation? The
Emancipation changed the status quo of the American Ne
gro and started him cn his upward path. The emancipation
did not, nor could it, remove the handicaps which approxi
mately 250 years of servitude had placed upon him, but it
did change his legal, economic, educaticnal and social sta
tus; it did give him larger freedom in the life of the nation.
And for cvery such revelutionary change for the better in
the rise of races and nations, or even the submerged social
groups within the same race, there has been, there wil] ev
or be, a lasting sense of gratitude and thanksgiving, both to
God and man. Every nation. race and social group likes to
hark back t»o, commemorate and celebrate such distinet
points of transition in its upward struggle. To this general
rule the American Negro connot, must not prove an excep
tion. |
- - - . |
The emancipation net only brought a certain mea
sure of freedom te the A merican Negro, but to the whole
nation for it wo« 1i'e » ealling yoke upen the shoulders of
a young nation: lite o m:lignant cancer eating its way into
the vital orgenism of the buman body. So that while
emancipation brought to the American Negro a certain
measure of freedom. it also loosed as it were, a mighty n' '
stone from the nation’s neck. Ser that in freeing ard '
o the nation's “locw-downs,” it alse Frought to 11 e n t on's
Lipups 7 onew senseoof human vobe oty and ool
I spect. Beecalse of this fact the £~ £+ ip the New Year
should be an oceasion for » ° - 'nr and Thanlseiving, not
only £ the 2T 1 To Pa avery vacie]l element which
genctitutes an interal nart of the =t on's population. Com
memorate it? Celebrate? Whyv not? Who knowing and fully
appreciating its hackoround, is o bereft of the fine ethical
and moral evaluation of human life, as to not be profoundly
movd by the recurrance of the emancipation date with its
sacred reminiscence and eommemorations, when the chief
executive of the nation by legal decree struck the shackles
from the borlics of some four and one half millions who had
been counted less than human?
Put the term emancipation when applied to the
American Negro, carries yvet ancther significant idea: it
gave to him not only the ownership and control of his own
body, but also receenized the fact that he possessed a cer
tain measure of mentality and morality, both observable in
his conduct and 1aient, which no other persen had the mor
al right to «tifle or 4! 2wuch. This unfortunately, many be
longing to the dominant recial group in America, seem yet
unwilling either to acknowledge or concede. And herein lies
another delicate truth. the workings of which are subtle
and lurking: a druth which though delicate, must event
ually like all other truths, get a fair hearing. And when it
does, that will mark the American Neero's second emanci
pation. And which by the wayv, will be no less sigmifieant
than was his first. Truth, though its general acceptance
may for one reason or arother be long delaved, it is as dur
able as time, as indestructable as matter, as lasting as eter
nity. Who can permanently block its pahtway ?
No man is tyuly free vntil he has acquired the intelli
gence and had born in him the desire and determination to
do his own thinking. And the emancipation proclamation,
while not making this an immediate fact concerning the
freedmen, it so changed his social status, removed certain
restraints and opened docrs. into which as the freedman en
tered, he discovered the way which led to this larger free
dom. But that the task iz scarcely begun is evervwhere
made evident. First, because the Negro himself is not yet
acutely aware of the fact that he is stil] counted less than an
Almerican citizen; and second, because the controling ele
ments within the nation still regard ethics and efficient gov
ernment as having little, or nothing in common, as is now
the cry, religion and politics must remain separate and dis
tinct as though life were divided into compartments sepa
rate and apart from each other. Religion rhat has nothing to
do with attitudes and conduct at every point where human
interests mth, will never acamre the nower to rpgf\-nm'utn
and save the sccial order. Until the Negro makes up his
mind that he hims-lf is. and by the v rv nature of the case,
must be the chief factor in briroing 10 the groun that larg:
er freedom. there con be bt little oain in hat direction.
. To fail to sense the full import of the emancipation
proclamation, and to cherish and perpetuate the lone, os
tablished custem of celebrating the date of its enactment.
would argue illy {or the decendants of the freedom, and
g0 a long way in substantuating the persistent contention
ef some, that after all, the American Nugro is a little less
.t‘hst human. Cherish the date? Celebrate the event? Why
not’ Ring out the bells! Let the echoes flv till heaven and
earth, and hell and sky, shall answer back. the man that is
';!;t,ild is to be was not born to die,

Camels are made fresh to start with, fresh with natural

The full natural goodness of these fine tobaccos is
safeguarded at every step in their handling — they are

Camels are truly fresh. They’re made fresh — not
parched or toasted — and then they’re kept fresh in
the Camel Humidor Pack.
The delights of a genuinely fresh cigarette are so
rare and desirable that Camel popularity continues
to mount daily to new highs.
Test these delights for yourself—see what true
freshness means in cool, slow-burning, delicate mild

them —if you can.
