th fact of this being the l'st debate
for thp president's cup, it is probable
that there wiil be a very large at
tendance. B wker T. Washington writes to
a corg-e?8man that "nego'r puitp
him as the official designation of
his race. With hih customary
sense," Mr. Washington tnkes
thsa pertinent observations:
''Uightly or. wrongly, all
classes have called us negroe-".
We cannot escap" from that name
if we would. To cast it off now
would be 10 separate us, to a cer
tain extent, from our history; and
deprive us of much of the inspira
tion we now - have to struggle on
and upward. It is to our credit,
not to our shame, that we have
risen so rapidly, more rapidiy than
most other ' peoples, from savage
ancestors through slavery fc civili
zation . For my prt-, I believe
the memory of tbf?e facts shouUl bp
preserved in our name and tradi
tions as it is preserved in the
color of our faces. I do not think
my people shouid be ashamed of
their history, nor of any name that
people choose in good fiith to give
them."
