Obtaining Copies

If an image is displaying, you can download it yourself. (Some images display only as thumbnails outside the Library of Congress because of rights considerations, but you have access to larger size images on site.)

Alternatively, you can purchase copies of various types through Library of Congress Duplication Services.

1. If a digital image is displaying: The qualities of the digital image partially depend on whether it was made from the original or an intermediate such as a copy negative or transparency. If the Reproduction Number field above includes a reproduction number that starts with LC-DIG..., then there is a digital image that was made directly from the original and is of sufficient resolution for most publication purposes.

2. If there is information listed in the Reproduction Number field above: You can use the reproduction number to purchase a copy from Duplication Services. It will be made from the source listed in the parentheses after the number.
If only black-and-white ("b&w") sources are listed and you desire a copy showing color or tint (assuming the original has any), you can generally purchase a quality copy of the original in color by citing the Call Number listed above and including the catalog record ("About This Item") with your request.

3. If there is no information listed in the Reproduction Number field above: You can generally purchase a quality copy through Duplication Services. Cite the Call Number listed above and include the catalog record ("About This Item") with your request.

Price lists, contact information, and order forms are available on the Duplication Services Web site.

Access to Originals

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.

1. Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will be visible on the left.)

Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.
As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)

No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.

2. Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?

Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.

No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.

3. If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future.

Gift of the Alexander family, 1987.

The Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander Papers is organized into eighteen series: I. Biographical and Autobiographical; II. Personal Correspondence; III. General Correspondence; IV. Professional Correspondence; V. Financial Records; VI. Education; VII. Law Practice and Related Professional Papers; VIII. Legal Issues and Actions; IX. Government Service; X. Legal Organizations; XI. Civic Organizations; XII. Clubs and Social Groups; XIII. Writings, Speeches and Publications; XIV. Certificates, Honors, and Awards; XV. Memorabilia and Regalia; XVI. Audio-Visual Material; XVII. Family and Genealogy; XVIII. Books. Many of the series are organized into sub-series.

Born in Philadelphia in 1898, the youngest of three children, Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander (B.S., 1918; A.M., 1919; Ph.D., 1921; LL.B., 1927) is a member of two distinguished families.

Her maternal grandfather was Benjamin Tucker Tanner (1835-1923), a Bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Bishop Tanner had seven children, the best known of whom is the painter Henry O. Tanner (1859-1937). Another daughter of Bishop Tanner, Hallie Tanner Johnson, became a social worker and physician and established the Nurses’ School and Hospital at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.

Sadie Tanner Mossell’s father, Aaron A. Mossell (1863-1951) (LL.B. 1888), was the first African-American to graduate from Penn’s Law School. Her uncle, Nathan Francis Mossell (1856-1946) (M.D. 1882) was the first African-American to graduate from Penn’s Medical School. In 1895 Dr. Mossell was a co-founder of the Frederick Douglass Hospital, which later merged with Mercy Hospital to form Mercy-Douglass. Sadie’s paternal grandfather, Aaron Mossell, sr., had established a successful brick-making business in Lockport, New York.

When Sadie was a child, her mother and siblings frequently alternated residence between Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia. When she reached high school, she went to live in Washington with her uncle, Lewis Baxter Moore (Ph.D., 1896) who was dean at Howard University and the husband of her mother’s sister, Sadie Elizabeth Tanner. She attended the M Street High School in Washington and graduated in 1915.

She then attended the School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1918. Following her college graduation, she entered the Graduate School at Penn to study economics. In 1921, she became one of the first three Black women in the U.S. to obtain a Ph.D.

Despite her academic achievements, she had difficulty finding employment in Philadelphia and went to work for the Black-owned North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company in Durham, remaining there for two years. In 1923, shortly after Raymond Pace Alexander was admitted to the Bar and opened his practice, she returned to Philadelphia to be married.

The following year, in the fall of 1924, she entered the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She became the first Black woman to graduate from that institution and the first Black woman admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar in 1927. Thereupon, she joined her husband’s practice, specializing in estate and family law. She served as Secretary to the National Bar Association.

She was appointed Assistant City Solicitor for the City of Philadelphia and held that position from 1928 to 1930 and from 1934 to 1938. From that time forward, she served on numerous boards, committees, and commissions and held office in many local and national organizations. Among her most notable activities was her service on President Truman’s Committee on Human Rights in 1947 and on the Commission on Human Relations of the City of Philadelphia from 1952 until 1968. She continued her employment in her husband’s firm from 1927 until 1959, when he was named to the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia. She subsequently practiced independently until 1976, when she joined the firm of Atkinson, Myers, and Archie in the capacity of counsel. Her national stature was recognized when President Jimmy Carter appointed her chair of the White House Conference on Aging in 1978; she was removed from this committee by Ronald Reagan in 1981. She retired from practice and from public life generally in 1982. Mrs. Alexander died in 1989 and is survived by two daughters, Mary Elizabeth Alexander Brown (1934 -) and Rae Pace Alexander Minter (1937 -).

STMA I: Biographical and Autobiographical. (2 cu. ft. and oversized items.) The first two subseries include articles, resumes, and interview material which review STMA’s life and career, including her family history, practice in the law, and civic and governmental activities. Another subseries (approximately 2/3 cu. ft.) documents STMA’s international travels (1937- 1980). The last subseries (approx. 1/2 cu. ft.) consists of clippings and other scrapbook material (1923-83 with some gaps). In addition, there are a number of oversized scrapbooks (1945-46 and 1963-67).

STMA II: Personal Correspondence. (7 cu. ft.) Family correspondence (with RPA [intermittent 1921-68]; EMA [1937-64]; and Isabel Tanner Temple, her aunt [1946-57]; with and about her two daughters [1935-1983]; and with assorted other relatives) comprises approx. 2 1/2 cu. ft. of this series, over half of which relates to Mary Elizabeth and Rae Pace. The remaining 4.5 cu. ft. is made up primarily of miscellaneous and unsorted correspondence (1923-80; bulk dates 1934-80 with a clump around 1947- 48). In the 1960s she carried on a correspondence with RPA’s close friend, J. Turner Layton.

STMA III: General Correspondence. (2 2/3 cu. ft.; 1935-82.) Primarily miscellaneous and unsorted correspondence. As in the last (general) subseries of STMA’s personal correspondence, the material is arranged in preliminary chronological order without subseries divisions. At the end of the series are several folders of condolences received by the family after RPA’s death.

STMA IV: Professional Correspondence. (1 cu. ft.; 1939-83.) Primarily material pertaining to STMA’s professional and civic career. The series also contains papers pertaining to her actions on behalf of law students and women in the law.

STMA V: Financial Records. (5 1/2 cu. ft.; 1924-82.) Primarily material pertaining to personal finances as opposed to those of her law practice, which are housed in STMA RPA VII.B. The records include several ledger books (1937-64); bank records (1924-82; approx. 1 cu. ft.); invoices, statements and receipts (1937-82 with greater bulk after 1974; 2 cu. ft.); insurance policies and premium statements and receipts (1919-84); ledger books and papers relating to real estate (1924-80; 1/2 cu. ft.), and wills, estate, and trust (1940-81). The records appear to cover the span of STMA’s adult life without significant gaps.

STMA VI: Education. (approx. 0.5 cu. ft.; 1917-82.) Material pertaining to M Street High School and the University of Pennsylvania (general and college, graduate and law school. The bulk of the papers in the series pertain to STMA’s activities as an alumna (contributions, fundraising, activities in support of women’s and Black students’ organizations on campus, an honorary degree). A number of items relate to her academic record as a doctoral candidate and law student.

STMA VII: Law Practice and Related Professional Papers. (9 cu. ft.) The bulk of the series is made up of financial records (4 cu. ft.; 1926-82; bulk begins ca. 1936) and office diaries, appointment books, message books, and the like (5 cu. ft.; 1936-79). The series contains a number of summary records (internal memoranda, dockets, ledgers, etc.) that may be useful in gaining an overview of the history of STMA’s practice and her position in her husband’s firm.

STMA VIII: Legal Issues and Actions. (10 cu. ft.; 1928-81 with bulk appearing to fall in a normal distribution plateauing in the 1940s and 1950s.) Nearly half of the series is contained in the miscellaneous category (a few folders at most per client). Papers relating to the legal business of Mount Lawn Cemetery account for 2 cu. ft.; four estates account for another 2 cu. ft.; and legal business of various AME churches accounts for 1 1/3 cu. ft.

STMA IX: Government Service. (6 1/2 cu. ft.; 1946-82.) STMA began her career in government service in 1946, when she was named by President Truman to his Committee on Human Rights. Papers relating to her experience on the President’s Committee (primarily correspondence and memoranda) are nearly 1 cu. ft. in bulk (1946-57; bulk dates 1947). She was a member of Philadelphia’s Commission on Human Relations (CHR) from the time of its formation in 1952, having been instrumental in its inception through the Philadelphia Fellowship Commission. She served for five years as its Chairman (n.d.) and retired from the Commission in 1968. Her papers relating to the CHR should be of considerable historical interest (2 1/2 cu. ft.; 1952-72). One of the last significant chapters in the public life of STMA was her appointment by President Carter and service as the chairman of the White House Conference on Aging (approx. 1 1/2 cu. ft.; 1978-81). She was removed from her position as chair by President Reagan before the conference took place.

STMA X: Legal Organizations. (8 cu. ft.; bulk dates 1945-82.) At different periods, STMA was extremely active in two legal organizations. In the mid- 1940s, she served as secretary of the National Bar Association (NBA), the Black parallel organization to the American Bar Association, which excluded Blacks until 1952. Her papers relating to the NBA, together with RPA’s, may be among the most historically valuable subgroups in the collection (5 cu. ft.; 1930-79; bulk dates 1944-47). From 1946, she involved herself in the Philadelphia Bar Association (approx. 1 1/2 cu. ft.; 1945-82), serving on many committees, most notably the Committee on International and Foreign Law. From 1970, she assumed a position of leadership in the Philadelphia Bar Foundation (approx. 1/2 cu. ft.; 1970-82).

STMA XI: Civic Organizations. (12 1/2 cu. ft.; 1930-82; bulk dates roughly 1940s-1970s.) STMA was active in an extraordinarily large number of civic organizations. The series contains thirty individual subseries as well as a miscellaneous subseries comprising 2 cu. ft. in itself. The civic organizations in which she played significant leadership roles include the National Committee of the American Civil Liberties Union (2/3 cu. ft.; 1948- 82); the Americans for Democratic Action, National Board and National Vice President (less than 1 cu. ft.; 1948-59); the National Urban League (New York), of which she was secretary for twenty-five years (approx. 1 1/2 cu. ft.; 1930-57); and the Philadelphia Fellowship Commission, of which she was secretary (approx. 1 cu. ft.; 1946-65).

STMA XII: Clubs and Social Groups. (4 cu. ft.; 1921-1981.) This series contains papers documenting sixty years of STMA’s involvement in Delta Sigma Theta sorority (3 1/2 cu. ft.; 1921-1981). She was Delta’s first national president and served an extended term in that capacity (n.d.). A smaller subseries (1/2 cu. ft.; 1938-81) contains papers relating to miscellaneous other social clubs.

STMA XIII: Writings, Speeches, and Publications. (1 cu. ft.; [1920s]-80.) The inventory for this series includes a large number of individual writings and speeches. The majority of items included here are speeches. Many are untitled and/or undated. The series is arranged in chronological order without subseries divisions.

STMA XIV: Certificates, Honors, and Awards. (3 2/3 cu. ft. and additional oversized objects; 1911-83.) Diplomas, law credentials, and honorary decrees (1911-1983); citations, awards and testimonials with related papers (approx. 3/4 cu. ft.; 1940-1987); trophies and plaques (2 1/2 cu. ft.; 1945- 1983). STMA received many honors between 1980 and 1982, as she moved toward retirement.

STMA XV: Memorabilia and Regalia. (less than 1 cu. ft.; n.d. and 1982.) Personal effects and academic regalia.

STMA XVI: Audio-Visual Material. (1 cu. ft.; ca. 1880-1982.) The Alexander Papers include a large number of photographic prints which have been assigned to the STMA record group primarily on the basis of subject. Many photos were found undated and unlabelled. An effort has been made to identify and date this material as specifically as possible. The subseries of photographs here is arranged in preliminary chronological order. There are many good portraits, and occasional scenes (many of them taken professionally) as well as candid and posed snapshots. The series also contains several reels of 16 mm film apparently relating to STMA’s trip to India under the Auspices of the US Committee of the International Conference of Social Work in 1952.

STMA XVII: Family and Genealogy. (2 1/2 cu. ft.; 1872-1980; initial bulk date ca. 1931.) The first subseries contains a number of articles and other writings on Tanner and Mossell family history. Five subseries are devoted to Tanner forbears and relatives; five to Mossell forebears and relatives; and three to Alexander relatives. The material includes correspondence as well as various kinds of records.

STMA XVIII: Books. (2 1/2 cu. ft.; 1817-1977.) Includes a number of devotional works, primarily of the Doctrines and Disciplines of the AME Church (1817-1948); and a larger number of miscellaneous works, primarily non-fiction

Born in Philadelphia in 1898, the youngest of three children, Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander (B.S., 1918; A.M., 1919; Ph.D., 1921; LL.B., 1927) is a member of two distinguished families.

Her maternal grandfather was Benjamin Tucker Tanner (1835-1923), a Bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Bishop Tanner had seven children, the best known of whom is the painter Henry O. Tanner (1859-1937). Another daughter of Bishop Tanner, Hallie Tanner Johnson, became a social worker and physician and established the Nurses' School and Hospital at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.

Sadie Tanner Mossell's father, Aaron A. Mossell (1863-1951) (LL.B. 1888), was the first African-American to graduate from Penn's Law School. Her uncle, Nathan Francis Mossell (1856-1946) (M.D. 1882) was the first African-American to graduate from Penn's Medical School. In 1895 Dr. Mossell was a co-founder of the Frederick Douglass Hospital, which later merged with Mercy Hospital to form Mercy-Douglass. Sadie's paternal grandfather, Aaron Mossell, Sr., had established a successful brick-making business in Lockport, New York.

When Sadie was a child, her mother and siblings frequently alternated residence between Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia. When she reached high school, she went to live in Washington with her uncle, Lewis Baxter Moore (Ph.D., 1896) who was dean at Howard University and the husband of her mother's sister, Sadie Elizabeth Tanner. She attended the M Street High School in Washington and graduated in 1915.

She then attended the School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1918. Following her college graduation, she entered the Graduate School at Penn to study economics. In 1921, she became one of the first three Black women in the U.S. to obtain a Ph.D.

Despite her academic achievements, she had difficulty finding employment in Philadelphia and went to work for the Black-owned North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company in Durham, remaining there for two years. In 1923, shortly after Raymond Pace Alexander was admitted to the Bar and opened his practice, she returned to Philadelphia to be married.

The following year, in the fall of 1924, she entered the University of Pennsylvania Law School. She became the first Black woman to graduate from that institution and the first Black woman admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar in 1927. Thereupon, she joined her husband's practice, specializing in estate and family law. She served as Secretary to the National Bar Association.

She was appointed Assistant City Solicitor for the City of Philadelphia and held that position from 1928 to 1930 and from 1934 to 1938. From that time forward, she served on numerous boards, committees, and commissions and held office in many local and national organizations. Among her most notable activities was her service on President Truman's Committee on Human Rights in 1947 and on the Commission on Human Relations of the City of Philadelphia from 1952 until 1968. She continued her employment in her husband's firm from 1927 until 1959, when he was named to the Court of Common Pleas in Philadelphia. She subsequently practiced independently until 1976, when she joined the firm of Atkinson, Myers, and Archie in the capacity of counsel. Her national stature was recognized when President Jimmy Carter appointed her chair of the White House Conference on Aging in 1978; she was removed from this committee by Ronald Reagan in 1981. She retired from practice and from public life generally in 1982. Mrs. Alexander died in 1989 and is survived by two daughters, Mary Elizabeth Alexander Brown (1934 -) and Rae Pace Alexander Minter (1937 -).

Ala Stanford Frey, M.D., the first African-American female pediatric surgeon to be trained entirely in the United States, was recently appointed director of the Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities at Temple University School of Medicine.

"This new position will allow Dr. Frey to expand her leadership along with her exceptional clinical skills, and will strengthen her partnership with the North Philadelphia community," said Donald Parks, M.D., assistant dean for minority affairs.

"My goal for the center is for it to be a resource that will provide services to patients and collect clinical data to implement programs that will address the disproportionate numbers of people in this community suffering from preventable and treatable health conditions," Frey said.

One such program is CATTCH (Creating Access through Temple Children's Hospital). This program adopts a three-pronged approach, focusing on physical, mental and scholastic aspects, to treat children who have been victims of gun violence.

"CATTCH is not just about treating children physically by healing their wounds," Frey said. "We want to address the psychological wounds as well and identify behaviors and risk factors to prevent them from being victims of violence again, perpetrate an act of violence against another or die an untimely death, so that they can achieve their goals and become contributing members of society."

"Dr Frey is an outstanding leader with a deep commitment to patients here at Temple. She is relentless in her pursuit of excellence, particularly as it relates to minority health," said John M. Daly, M.D., dean of the School of Medicine.

An assistant professor of pediatric surgery, Frey specializes in neonatal procedures, minimally invasive pediatric surgery and pediatric colorectal surgery. She has published numerous papers and book chapters and has led a number of studies, including one that focused on necrotizing enterocolitis and which received a research training grant from the National Institutes of Health. In addition, Frey is certified by the American Board of Surgery.

Prior to joining Temple in September 2006, Frey held a pediatric surgery fellowship at the Cincinnati Children's Medical Center. After earning her bachelor's degree in biology from Penn State University and her medical degree from Penn State College of Medicine, Frey held a surgery internship and residency at the State University of New York at Brooklyn and a residency at the University of Pittsburgh.

JIM LEHRER: Good evening. A new study seriously challenges President Reagan's premise that private organizations can fill gaps left by federal budget cuts in social programs. The report, issued yesterday by the Urban Institute, says the vountary organizations are being devastated by the cuts themselves, losing some $33 billion in direct federal support over the next three years. The Institute, a non-profit research group, claims private agencies will thus be losing large hunks of revenue when they also face the greatest need for their services because of the overall budget cutbacks. The ability of the private sector to pick up where federal spending is leaving off has been a subject of contention since Mr. Reagan made a major appeal for a return to the American spirit of voluntarism to replace dependence on government. Robert MacNeil and I recently taped a program on this question. It began with Sister Falaka Fattah, the Philadelphia woman who, with her husband, has been credited with virtually eliminating gang warfare in the city. We did an entire program on her work last year. President Reagan had giver her effort national attention when he mentioned it in a speech.

Pres. RONALD REAGAN [October 5, 1981]: I wish the cynics would visit David and Falaka Fattah. This one couple did something that all the social welfare and law enforcement agencies together have been unable to accomplish. They replaced the gang structure with a family structure. They actually took a gang of 16 into their home. Their House of Umoja has helped more than 500 boys now develop into self-sufficient and productive young men, and today they are establishing what might be called an urban boys town.

LEHRER: Mr. Reagan followed up on those remarks with a personal meeting with Sister Fattah last fall, and more recently with a note. As an example of how private efforts do better than public ones, the assumption would be that her House of Umoja would be in good shape now, particularly in light of the special attention of the President. But there is more to it than that, the more being federal funds that are no more for Sister Fattah. She is with Robin in New York. Robin?

ROBERT MacNEIL: Welcome again, Sister Fattah. How have the cutbacks in federal funds affected your work?

Sister FALAKA FATTAH: Well, basically, it has not affected our operating funds because that was not dependent on federal monies, but it has had an adverse affect on our construction of the boys town, particularly the economic development portion of the construction.

MacNEIL: You were doing shops and businesses and things.

Sister FATTAH: Yes. Part of our boys town plan is to develop seven businesses, and we had put together a match of monies, and a part of that was CETA funds. So that when the CETA funds were cut, of course, ours was cut also.

MacNEIL: How much money have you actually lost?

Sister FATTAH: Well, so far, about $250,000.

MacNEIL: So what are you not going to be able to do that you planned?

Sister FATTAH: Well, we are not going to be able to build the boys town unless we're able to substitute and from other sources bring that, you know, the same amount of money in.

MacNEIL: Now, have private voluntary sources been able to pick up the slack?

Sister FATTAH: Well, we are very fortunate in that the corporate community in Philadelphia is already supporting our boys town; they have made donations up to $67,000 to date. But their donations are slated for another phase of the boys town, and we could not divert their funds into the mini-mall or to the boys town businesses.

MacNEIL: By what kind of deadline have you got to raise the private money in order to do what you want to do?

Sister FATTAH: Well, we were given a deadline of June 30th, and then the city gave us a month's extension, so we're now one week away from that.

MacNEIL: So, in other words, the private community is still quite a long way -- generous as they have been to you already -- but they're still quite a long way from taking up the slack or filling the gap caused by the federal cutback?

Sister FATTAH: Yes, that's true.

MacNEIL: What other groups that you know of in the sort of private effort are feeling this effect, and how are they faring?

Sister FATTAH: Well, basically, the groups in Philadelphia have been holding seminars and trying to feel that way in terms of what to do about the cuts. I don't think that they really had enough time to plan for it. The House of Umoja was probably a little more advanced in that we had already developed a plan prior to President Reagan going into office. Because we were moving towards self-sufficiency. But some of the other groups who were simply accustomed to receiving grants every year, I think that they have had a difficult time, and I don't think that we really know yet what the effect is going to be on many of them.

MacNEIL: And you say you were moving towards self-sufficiency as part of your own design? President Reagan, of course, singled you out very dramatically as a kind of embodiment of the spirit of voluntarism. With what's happened now, how do you feel about his policy?

Sister FATTAH: Well, basically, his singling out the House of Umoja was a result of the fact that we operated for the firstfive years without any government money, and we were self-sufficient. And I think that there are certain types of rewards in being your own boss. So I applaud that. That's what we're moving towards again. But I don't -- I think that the spirit of voluntarism has to be mixed in with some very real material support until people are able to function that way.

MacNEIL: Voluntarism can't stand on its own two feet all by itself, you mean?

Sister FATTAH: No, not at all. And it has to be -- for instance, I'm aware of corporations that are lending some of their employees to work with community groups, and that's a good way for a person to be able to begin to function, to lend that type of technical assistance to groups.

MacNEIL: Well, thank you. Jim?

LEHRER: The most often-cited example of exemplary corporate voluntarism is the effort of the Control Data Corporation, a large computer manufacturing firm headquartered in Minneapolis. Its work is unique because it doesn't just give away money. It sets up company facilities in the inner city. The company's vice president of corporate services is Lawrence Perlman, who is with us tonight from Chicago. You would not describe what your company does as philanthropy, correct?

LAWRENCE PERLMAN: That's correct, Jim.

LEHRER: What is it then, sir?

Mr. PERLMAN: Well, the Control Data approache really can be understood by looking at three different elements of it, Jim. In the first instance, we believe strongly in the need for cooperative solutions to these very difficult problems in our urban and rural areas. That is, we think that business must work together with government and with community-based organizations as well as other segments of our society, such as churches and labor unions, to solve these problems. The second element of our approach is to try to get at the root causes of these problems rather than treating symptoms. It's our experience that the most significant problem in most of these areas is the high unemployment rate and the lack of jobs. And Control Data, since the late '60s, has been directing substantial efforts at attempting to deal with this problem of job creation and job maintenance. The way we've done this is to try to emphasize education and training, and particularly Plato, a computer-based education and training, as a means of preparing people for jobs and making certain that once they're in jobs they can continue to be trained and maintain them.

LEHRER: But these facilities that you have set up in various inner cities, I mean, they're part of the profit-making structure of Control Data, correct?

Mr. PERLMAN: That's the element that ties what we're doing together. We believe strongly that business has to play a role in dealing with these problems, and that the way for business to become involved in a truly meaningful way is for it to see these as profit-making activities. Our inner-city plants are all profitable, and are all very significant parts of our business.

LEHRER: Now, you've had federal government help, though, in setting these up, correct?

Mr. PERLMAN: That's right.

LEHRER: What kind of assistance from the government?

Mr. PERLMAN: The primary assistance that we've received has been federal help in supporting the education and training of the individuals whom we have employed in those plants. The problem that we found in the inner city was that you can't just open up your doors of a plant and expect people to come to work there. You have to work to prepare them for jobs and to train them to maintain those jobs once they're involved.

LEHRER: Could you have done it without the federal help?

Mr. PERLMAN: I think it would have been very difficult for us to do it. These are long-term investments, and it takes a long time to get the kind of returns which are appropriate. The federal help certainly was essential in helping us to get where we've gotten with these plants.

LEHRER: Are the federal budget cutbacks going to affect your programs or the kinds of programs you're doing?

Mr. PERLMAN: Well, if the federal budget cutbacks are not replaced with funding which is directed at helping business train and employ the jobless people and the underemployed people in this country, that're going to have a significant effect not only on our programs, but on the general situation in these areas.

LEHRER: Business cannot do it by itself?

Mr. PERLMAN: That's right. Business needs to make a profit. If business doesn't make a profit, there won't be business and there won't be jobs. In order for business to make a profit, in these inner-city areas, particularly, it needs to have the appropriate incentives, and government can play a very key role in providing the incentive to get business into these areas.

LEHRER: Some businesspeople have suggested that these federal budget cutbacks and then the emphasis on business picking up the slack are setting you up unfairly -- setting up business unfairly to take a rap if it doesn't work out. Do you feel that way? Is that a possibility?

Mr. PERLMAN: Oh, I think it's perhaps a possibility, but I don't think it's certainly the intention of these programs. And I think that if the federal funds, limited as they ma be, are appropriately targeted and are set up in such a way that they can be leveraged, so that a federal investment is followed by substantial private investment, then I think business can play a critically important role in dealing with these problem. That's certainly been Control Data's experience.

LEHRER: Thank you. Robin?

MacNEIL: There is a group which keeps tabs on what is going on in community development around the country. It is called the Center for Community Change. Its president is Pablo Eisenberg, who is also with us this evening in Chicago. Mr. Eisenberg, what impact have the federal budget cuts had on the private initiative community groups that you monitor?

PABLO ELSENBERG: Well, the budget cutbacks have had, I think, a devastating impact on the ability of neighborhood and community-based groups to deliver services, to carry on advocacy activities on the part of their constituents, and to engage in serious economic and physical development programs.

MacNEIL: Are Sister Fattah's experiences unusual, or is she more fortunate than most, or what?

Mr. ELSENBERG: Well, I think Sister Fattan may be slightly more fortunate than many of her colleague organizations that have suffered far worse than she has. Many of them oid not have a track record of having private founds, not necessarily because they didn't want private funds, but many of than had extraordinarily difficult times getting either corporate or foundation money to sustain their efforts, and therefore became dependent on federal funds.

MacNEIL: Well, in the wake of the federal cuts, are they finding it possible -- are they finding private monies to pick up the slack?

Mr. EISENBERG: Private monies are still extraordinarily difficult for many grassroots organizations to get. There are some foundations and some corporations that are beginning to pick up a little of the slack. But when you're talking about major dollars for physical development, for low-income housing, for infrastructure in poor communities, you're talking about sums of money that are beyond purely private-sector involvement. They need to have massive public-sector incentives to get really involved.

MacNEIL: To what degree in this filed -- maybe you can't put a percentage on it, but can you tell us your estimate of to what degree a full-faith effort by private business and so on could pick up the slack?

Mr. EISENBERG: I think business can only pick up a small portion of the slack. When you look at the country and the needs of poor rural areas and urban areas, you come to the conclusion easily that the massive needs for low-income and moderate-income housing will not be picked up by the private sector. When you look at the infrastructure needs of cities and rural areas, that will not be picked up by the private sector. When you look at the provision of thousands and hundreds of thousands of jobs to hardcore unemployed, that can't possibly initially be picked up by the private sector. And so and so forth. So that one of the real problems has been that the public sector has been severely undermined, and until it is shored up once again, we are going to have massive problems socially and economically in terms of poverty and racism in this country.

MacNEIL: With a year now of experience of the federal budget cuts, how would you characterize the success of the President's program of encouraging voluntarism to fill the gap?

Mr. EISENBERG: Well, the rhetoric of voluntarism has been there, but if you recall that one of the stated objectivies of the President's program was to stimulate self-help and bootstrap efforts, you quickly come to realize that the very bootstraps have been taken away, that self-help has been undermined, because there has to be some capacity for those who need it most to help themselves. And the budget cuts have taken away that capacity both institutionally -- that is, for organizations that are serving the needs of low-income people -- and taken away the means by which lots of low-income people have to survive, namely, the entitlement programs, which have been severely cut.

MacNEIL: Well, thank you. Jim?

LEHRER: The Reagan administration's major effort in this voluntarism area is being done by the President's task force on private sector initiatives. The task force executive director is Jerry Guth. Mr. Guth, you heard what Mr. Eisenberg says, that these cutbacks have had a devastating effect on these many private organizations around the country, and that the private sector is not picking up the gap. Is that what you had in mind?

JERRY GUTH: Well, let me just quickly say two things that not only were captured by Pablo's remarks, but, Jim, something that you had said. It seems to me that in the whole matter of initiative, private initiative and voluntarism, there is first a kind of either/or mentality. Either these things are going to continue to be done by the government or they're going to be picked up by something called the private sector. As we have done our work with the task force, what's exciting to us is that in this country and a number of communities, it isn't an either/or, but it's a matter of new relationships between the federal government. In large part, that's what Baltimore is all about, and a host of other physically oriented economic development programs, and I think that's what Mr. Perlman was saying. The second thing, quickly, is that we tend, again, it seems to me, to cast almost -- well, we do entirely, the whole issue in terms only of dollars. I'm not excusing or setting aside the importance of dollars, but one thing that we haven't focused on is in fact the breadth and depth of human resources in communities as they're now being applied in any number of imaginative ways toward problems.

LEHRER: Sister Fattah mentioned that, in terms of people doing the work.

Mr. GUTH: Yeah. One of a number of examples.

LEHRER: Well, let's go through these examples, though, of Sister Fattah. If the President believes her efforts are so exemplary, why then were the federal funds that helper her specifically cut?

Mr. GUTH: Well, I think again one has to cast the issue very broadly. First of all, as a single person who, with Congress, attempts to lead the country in a fundamental new direction that no one argues with, and that is to get this spending apparatus out of control [sic], he does what any leader would do and he looks broadly at the problem and begins to try and get it under control. That is going to have all kinds of different impacts on all kinds of different people in different ways in different communities. Again, it seems to me the issue certainly is in part the direct, immediate, short-term impact on the Sister's programs and others like that, but over a longer haul the issue has got to continue to be alternatives -- what is happening inside the private sector: are new relationships being spawned? I see them as I travel around the country. They are. I'm not trying to tell you that, in a given time frame -- 12 months, 14 months, 18 months -- a very diverse country is going to totally digest this change, but I am very encouraged by what I see going on.

LEHRER: Sister Fattah seemed to indicate that there wasn't enough transition time allowed some of these organizations, that it went suddenly from subsisting solely on grants to nothing, and then suddenly being thrown out there to go for another source of money and funding. Does that concern you as well?

Mr. GUTH: That mentality does concern me. Different people, as the Sister has mentioned, have prepared differently for this change -- which I might say, by the way, wasn't all of a sudden dropped out of the sky, it seems to me, by President Reagan. I think thoughtfully we've been lurching toward these kinds of changes for a very, very long time. Some are better prepared than others. Again, the test has to be, kind to like my business managers back in the private sector, they're not prepared for cuts in their budget either. But after some sort of nap time you've got to get on.

LEHRER: In other words, you feel that these folks should have prepared better?

Mr. GUTH: That's a very presumptuous thing for me to say.

LEHRER: I know. I know. I know, but that's essentially --

Mr. GUTH: I'm just trying to point out that, yes, we're dealing with some very fundamental change in this country. Some have been better prepared than others; some communities have a fabric, have a kind of relationship within the private sector, that has better prepared them.

Mr. GUTH: So it's going to move differently, Jim, it seems to me.

LEHRER: Well, let me ask you that finally, in a general way -- where it's going to move. Is the intention of the voluntarism effort on the part of the President to literally fill in these gaps, or for the private sector -- either business, foundations, or through private volunteer help, or whatever -- to fill these gaps? Is that what you're hoping to do?

Mr. GUTH: Not at all. Not at all. I got into this job a few months ago; for a very long time that was something that I was working very hard to try and communicate more clearly, as was the thought that business, meaning private sector, was going to do all these kinds of things. What the President is trying to do, with our group, is get us focused on the fact as a country that at the local community level, this thing called initiative can be more broadly embraced by companies and a whole host of others. And that most importantly, where perhaps we haven't spent much time in the community talking with one another, there is a great deal to be gained in the way of both financial and non-financial resources by spending more time at the local community talking with one another. That's this partnership theme, of course, that everyone continues to talk about. So we exist to help this country as best we can get focused on the reality, the power of that at the local level, and share those kinds of success stories, replicate them, so that more can get on with adjusting this change.

LEHRER: But they're still goint to -- if anybody believed that the President was saying don't worry about it, the private sector will take care of the legitimate needs that the federal government used to take care of, that was not what he intended to say?

Mr. GUTH: I have never heard him communicate that at all, and I assign --

LEHRER: You know, a lot of people believe that.

Mr. GUTH: Well, I assign that mentality, Jim, frankly, having spent some time in Washington, to the political process itself, which tends to quite dramatically, at the extreme, state positions on issues. This is a very complicated core issue, and the changes we're going through are terribly important to the future of this country, and it's simply too easy, it seems to me, to stake the issue out in four words or three -- "fill the gap" or "not fill the gap" -- and that's kind of what's happened through a lot of reporting, frankly.

LEHRER: All right, think you. Robin?

MacNEIL: What's your reaction to that restatement of the policy, Mr. Eisenberg?

Mr. EISENBERG: Well, my feeling is that while there are some good private sector initiatives going on, that all too few of them are really a real partnership in which business and local government and community-based organizations and citizens are really equal partners. Traditionally it's been an unequal partnership of City Hall and the corporate community doing downtown development and, in the process, ignoring a lot of neighborhood needs, a lot of human needs. I think that has to be changed, and I would be encouraged if, in fact, the President's task force comes down hard on insisting that we have real shared partnership in which community people are involved from the very beginning. But I would add that even with those partnerships, they're basically a drop in the bucket. We've got, in Philadelphia alone, as Sister Fattah would admit, we've got thousands of blocks that are devastated, that need help. We've got rural areas in deep trouble. And cutting back those programs and those bootstraps that are supposed to help those most in need in this country is basically unfair, it's undemocratic, and it's against the tradition of this country. And it's extraordinarily difficult to conceive of a real program that can help those most in need to rebuild the cities and urban areas without an increase in public sector activity and in the funds that are necessary to make private sector initiatives go.

MacNEIL: Mr. Guth, Mr. Eisenberg is saying in effect that what you're looking for and trying to promote is only going to produce a drop in the bucket.

Mr. GHTH: Pablo said two things, and one I very much agree with, and that is that when you talk about community partnerships, first of all, clearly, for it truly to be a partnership, it must involve all those who live and work in that community and are a part of that need and a part of that solution. There hasn't been enough of that in the past, and one of our focal points is to work very hard to share the very best of what's being done in that area, to remind all of these players that this is not just a matter of meetings; it clearly is, as one of our task force members, John Gardiner, says, a matter of crossing borders, building some new relationships. Now, Bob, on the matter of a drop in the bucket, the town, of course, has turned for a number of months on all kinds of arguments about numbers and rate of change, etc. I'd rather not get into that because, one, I'm not qualified, and, two, it really isn't the focal point of the task force. Its focal point is to, while the policymakers go forward with these decisions, to do everything that we can to produce more of precisely what Pablo is talking about. And as I, again, go around the country, what we think we know about what is going on, I absolutely believe, based on what I've seen, is the tip of the iceberg.

MacNEIL: Let me go back to you, Mr. Guth. Another thought just occurred to me. If after your efforts have been going on for awhile, and it does turn out to be a drop in the bucket, would you go back to the President and say, "Look, we're not going to raise nearly enough through private initiatives. We will need to go back" -- Mr. Eisenberg said -- "to get the federal government to come back in with money"?

Mr. GUTH: Well, again, as I'd mentioned to Jim, to go back and say that to the President suggests that in the first place there was some intention that private sector initiative and voluntarism would fill some kind of gap. We're not going to be reporting to the President on those kinds of things. We're simply going to be reporting, "Here's the reality of what's going on in this country; there is a policy framework that can be better improved to create more incentives; there are some impediments getting in the way; but most importantly, we think, Mr. President, as we move forward and change in this country, we have gotten people refocused with more clarity on the reality of private sector initiative and voluntarism, and that makes it a part of the national vocabulary. That changes minds, and it seems to me that that's the greatest contribution this task force can make."

ManNEIL: Mr. Perlman, you represent a firm that is also represented on that President's task force, as I understand. Is that philosophy going to produce a change of mind in the country, a really significant change of mind?

Mr. PERLMAN: I think it has the potential for making substantial change. Now, I think you have to start someplace. If you put enough drops in the bucket, the bucket eventually gets filled up. Control Data has been, under Bill Norris' leadership, has been arguing for the proposition that a number of problems facing this country can only be solved through cooperation of a number of diverse groups for a long time. Our own experience in our inner-city plants, beginning in Minneapolis in the late '60s, has indicated that we can create substantial employment through cooperation between community-based organizations, he government, and the private sector.

LEHRER: A reminder that we taped that program a while ago. Have a nice Labor Day weekend. We'll see you on Monday night. I'm Jim Lehrer. Thank you, and good night.

DR. N. ALFRED DIGGS
Graduate with high honors from the A. and M. College, Alcorn,
Miss.; also from the Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn.
Also from the Michigan University and from the Meharry
Medical College, Nashville, Tenn.
Dr. X. Alfred Diggs, who has be
come one of the popular and leading
south side physicians and surgeons,
came into this grand old world
through the southland and began his
early literary tra'ning in Mississippi
at the Alcorn A. and M. College and
after drinking in all the knowledge
he possibly could at that educational
institution, he was still unsatisfied
with the opportunities there.
In 1906 he wended his way to
Knoxville. Tenn.. where lie entered
Knoxville College and graduated from
the normal department w th high
honors in 1908. Still seeking and
thirsting for more knowledge and
power, he entered the Michigan Uni
versity. at Ann Arbor, Mich., where
he completed the course of pharma
ceutical chem'st in 1910.
From there he entered the Meharry
Medical College at Nashville, Tenn.,
as professor of food analysis and
drug assaying. At the same true he
studied medicine and completed his
medical course in l'>16 and not long
after that time he successfully passed
the Missouri Board of Medical Ex
aminers and in 1917 he was licensed
to practice medic ne in the state of
Illinois, receiving a high rating from
its medical board.
Dr. Diggs, in order to possess a
well-trained medical mind, served as
a Pullman porter, hotel waiter and
janitor in order to earn sufficient
money to educate himself. He has
met with great success since engag
ing in the practice of medicine in this
city. He specializes in the diseases
of women.
Dr. Diggs s a hale fellow well met:
he is an honored member of the Ma
-oiis. Odd Fellows, Elks, the For
tieth Club, the Appomattox Club, the
Thirteenth Club and Omega, Phi Psi
Fraternity.
Dr. Diggs wishes his many friends
and patients a Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year.

COLORED WOMEN PHYSICIANS CON- !
TINUE TO FORCE THEMSELVES
TO THE FRONT THROUGHOUT
THE UNITED STATES
BY SARA W. BROWN, M. D. FORM THE
SOUTHERN WORKMAN DECEM
BER 1923.
According to one's perspective it is, I
or it is not, a far cry from the sum
mer of 1854 to the summer of 1923
On the earlier date Emily Blackwell,
M. D., just graduated from the med
ical department of Western Reserve
University, was allowed to visit, for
one summer, at Bellevue Hospital, the
newly initiated system of clinical lec
tures. Last summer, 1923, a young
colored woman just graduated from
the College of Physicians and Sur
geons, Columbia University, began a
full year's internship in the general
service of that same hospital, for the
first time in its history. She entered
upon her work without hesitation or
fear because her qualifications were
high and because public sentiment
was changing.
Dr. Agnes O. Griffin, who has just
begun her internship in Bellevue Hos
pital, was born in Raleigh, N. C., of
cultured parents who are at the head
of an institution of learning at High
Point in that State. She was grad
uated from the Washington Irving
High School, New York, in 1915, re
ceived the A. B. degree from Hunter
College in 1919, and that of M. D.
from Columbia University in June,
1923. Her appointment as an interne
was due to her merit as a student of
medicine. After her general service
Miss Griffin hopes to specialize in
children's diseases. With her educa
tion, good health, charming person
ality, high principles, unusual ability
for persistent effort, one can have no
fear of the type of service which this
young woman will render in the fu
ture.
Among other colored women who
received the degree of Doctor of
Medicine in June, 1923 was Mrs. Lil
lian Atkins Moore, daughter of the
widely known Dr. \V. E Atkins of
Hampton, Va., from the Woman's
Medical College of Philadelphia. Mrs.
Moore passed the examinations of the
National Board of Examiners with an
average of ninety-five per cent, which
entitles her to practice in 29 States.
She will serve an intcrneship in the
Douglass Hospital, Philadelphia, dur
ing 1923-24. Still others were Miss
Lyons, from Meharry Medical Col
lege; and Miss Zenobia Gilpin and
Miss Thelma Patten, from Howard
Unifrrsity. Dr. Gilpin and Dr. Pat
ten have been appointed internes at
the Freedmen's Hospital for 1923-24.
Three young colored women have this
year completed the second year in
medicine at the Woman's Medical
College, Philadelphia; six are enrolled
in the Medical College of Howard
University; and one has finished her
first year in Bellevue Medical College
in New York.
LTnpublished information from the
U. S. Census Bureau for 1920 gives
65 as the number of colored women
physicians, which figure does not in
clude 35 dentists or any pharmacists.
Though the number is small these
physicians are distributed throughout
the length and breadth of our country
-from New England, along the At
lantic Coast to the Gulf of Mexico,
and the Mississippi Valley to the Pa
cific Coast. The number engaged in
active practice is over half. Compar
ing this with a statement in Dr. Field
ing H. Garrison's History of Medicine
that "the number of women graduates
in the United States, Great Britain
and Canada who get into practice is
said to be relatively small, probably
by reason of marriage," it would seem
that the proportion among colored
women is good.
Of the three colored women phy
sicians in New England, Dr. Alice
Woodby McKane, a one-time Hamp
ton student and graduate of the
Woman's Medical College, Philadel
phia, 1892, has had a varied but useful
career. A native of Pennsylvania, af
ter receiving her degree in medicine
she went immediately to Augusta, Ga.,
as resident physician and teacher of
science in Haines Institute. A year
later she married Dr. Cornelius Mc
Kane and moved to Savannah where
that year she established the first train
ing school for nurses in southeast
Georgia. In connection with the
training school Dr. McKane opened
a free dispensary. In 1895 she went
with her husband to Monrovia, Li
beria. where they opened and oper
ated the first hospital in that republic.
At the same time she was U. S. Pen
sion Examiner for Civil War Veterans
living in Liberia. In 1896 these two
physicians returned to Savannah, Ga.,
and established the McKane Hospital
in connection with the training school
already developed. The work of this
institution goes forward now under
the name of Charity Hospital. They
retired from this work in 1900. A
widow for the past eleven years, Dr.
McKane has reared two fine sons to
manhood and developed a good prac
tice in Boston, Mass. She writes that
she is in splendid health and is en
gaged in all the social and political in
terests that appeal to the women of
today. A director of the South End
Co-operative Rank of Boston, a lec
turer on health, a writer of verse, a
delegate to the Republican State Con
vention, identified with numerous so
cial and philanthropic organizations,
Dr. McKane. with undiminished ver
satility and energy, goes on with
achievements to her credit and con
tinues to earn the satisfaction that
comes from unselfish service.
A graduate of Tufts Medical Col
lege. Dr. Ruth Esterling, is practicing
in Cambridge. Mass., specializing in
children's diseases. Dr. Josefa Zaratt,
also a graduate of Tufts Medical Col
lege, Boston, is a practicing physician
in Springfield. Mass. Other colored
doctors from Tufts Medical College
are Dr. Dorothy Boulding and Dr.
Jeannette Banks.
Dr. Harriet A. Rice of Newport. R.
T., was one of the few women doctors
to become distinguished for service
overseas. The writer had the pleas
ure of meeting Dr. Rice in New York
City after her return from France,
and found her unassuming, quiet, re
fined with no inclination to talk of
herself or her achievements. Her re
serve was most baffling. Later we
learned that she had an A. B. degree
front Wellesley College in 1887, that
she had been graduated from the
Woman's Medical College, New York
City, and had spent most of her life
in France with a brother living there,
and that she had devoted herself to
the care of the wounded in the French
Military Hospital during the greater
part of the war. It is pleasant, even
now. to recall the thrill of delight
when the newspapers heralded the tid
ings that Dr. Rice received from the
French Government in July, 1919, the
Reconnaissance Francaise, a bronze
medal, awarded for her work overseas.
The medal reached her through the
French Embassy, being presented by
Prince de Bearn, charge d'affaires of
the French Embassy. According to
the citation accompanying the medal
she was honored by the French Gov
ernment because of ''her devotion and
ability in caring for the French
wounded during the war." At present
Dr. Rice is residing in Europe.
Most notable among colored women
physicians, not in New York, but
in the country, was Susan M. Smith
Steward, the first colored woman
graduate in medicine in the country.
At the time of her death she was res
ident physician at Wilherforce Uni
versity where her husband. Chaplain
T. G. Steward, still lives. Dr. Steward
was a graduate of the New York
Med cal College and Hospital for
Women, and was chosen valedictorian
of her class. She continued her studies
in Long Island College Hospital, the
only woman in a large class. Her
biographer. Maritcha R. Lyons, makes
the following comment: "The woman
who today enters a profession ap
pears to be doing a casual thing.
When the then Miss S. Maria Smith
undertook her medical apprenticeship
such a decision was momentous. The
fear of woman unsexing herself was
the bugbear of that period. Only
level-headed, determined, self-reliant
women then ventured to take a step
likely to elicit unfriendly criticism;
likely to induce disparagement, if not
estrangement." Dr. Steward's success
was slow but sure. It grew until at
the zenith of her career she maintained
offices in two different sections of the
city. Her practice included both
sexes and was unlimited by color or
creed. One of the founders of the
Women's and Children's Hospital,
Brooklyn, New- York, a member of
King's County Homeopathic Society,
and of the New York State Medical
Society, she held for years a leading
place as a capable, popular, prosper
ous physician. Twice married, with
intervening years of widowhood, she
presents a fine type of an exemplary
matron, an admirable mother, a model
home keeper, and a woman active in
all matters pertaining to general up
lift and betterment.
In the vicinty of our women's medi
cal colleges one would naturally ex
pect to find a tendency toward a
study of medicine at an earlier date
than elsewhere. Even now, in appar
ently intelligent communities, there
are people who do not know of the
existence of a woman physician in the
l nited States or of any institutions
where women may receive training in
medical knowledge. Therefore, as in
New York City one finds the first
colored woman in the profession, it
s not strange to find other pioneer
women studying in the Woman's
Medical College of Philadelphia.
In the case of Dr. Caroline V. Still,
knowledge of the career of Elizabeth
Blackwell must have been an element
of inspiration in her early girlhood.
In "Who's W ho in Philadelphia." the
following appears: "One of Philadel
phia's foremost women, a pioneer of
her sex in the practice of medicine.
I)r. Caroline Virginia Anderson, was
born in Philadelphia in 1848 of Wil
liam and I.etita Still, founders of the
"Underground Railroad." both of
whom were born in 1825. Miss Still
received her early education in Mrs.
Henry Gordon's private school, the
Fr euds' Raspberry Alley School, and
the Institute for Colored Youth. In
1864, at the age of little more than
fifteen years, she entered Oberlin Col
lege and at the end of four years re
ceived her degree. She taught school
for a year, married, but became a
widow in 1874, when she entered the
Medical College of Howard Univer
sity and remained there one year. In
1876 she matriculated in the Women's
Medical College. Philadelphia, and re
ceived the degree of Doctor of Medi
cine in 1878. At first refused admis
sion to the Yew F.ngland Hospital for
Women and Children on account of
her color, she was later admitted as
interne. At the expiration of her ser
vice there she returned to her native
city for prat ice in her chosen profes
sion. Soon afterward she was married
to Rev. Matthew Anderson, founder
of the Berean Training School. Dr.
Anderson enjoyed an active pratice
for over th;rty years, and before her
death in June 1919 had accomplished
much for the welfare of her race in
Philadelphia. She was the founder of
the Philadelphia Y. \Y. C. A. for col
ored women, and an ardent temper
ance worker most of her life. Phila
delphians hold her memory in sincere
regard as wife, mother, physician, and
co-laborer in the work of the Lord.' "
Apparently the oldest living colored
woman physic al! is Dr. Sarah Logan
Fraser, now residing in Washington,
D. C. She is a native of New York
State and her early life was spent in
an environment similar to that of Dr ;
Caroline Anderson, as her father,
Bishop Logan, /. M. E. Church, also
conducted a station of the "Under
ground R. R." at their home in Syra
cuse. Dr. Logan received her degree
in medicine from the Medical School
of Syracuse University in 1876. She
was an interne in the Woman's Hos
pital, Philadelphia, the year following
her graduation and went from that
appointment to fill an unexpired six
months' vacancy in the New England
Hospital for Women. Dr. Fraser bad
thus unusual practical education with
which to enter the practice of medi
cine. She located in the District of
Columbia, practiced for one year, then
married Mr. Charles A. Fraser of
Santo Domingo. Her practice for the
next twenty years was in that country
in the city of Puerto Plata. Here she
specialzed in the practice of obstet
rics. During that period she was the
only woman practioner in Santo Do
mingo. She returned to this country
after the death of her husband in 1897.
Dr. Rebecca J. Cole was born
March 16. 1846. She was graduated
from the Institute for Colored Youth
in Philadelphia in 1867 and was the
first colored graduate from the Wo
man's College. 1869. She practiced in
Philadelphia and in Columb:a, S. C.
In conjunction with Dr. Charlotte
\bbv she conducted a Woman's Di
rectory in Philadelphia which gave
medical and legal aid to women. She
was superintendent for several years
of the Government Home in Wash
ington for children and old women.
In all she practiced about fifty years.
She died in PhMadelphta. August 14.
1922.
There are four colored women now
engaged in the practice of medicine in
Pennsylvania, three in Philadelphia
and one in Pittsburg. In Philadelphia
Dr. M. E. Thompson Coppin is giv
ing notable service to the communitv.
She is a member of the board of man
agers of the Southwest Branch Y. W.
C. A. now in possession of the largest
and most complete building for asso
ciation purpose for colored women,
and founder of the Woman's Christian
Alliance with commodious buildings
on South Sixteenth Street, for minis
ter ng to the women and children of
the city. This undertaking is in co
operation with the city's program for
constructive work with unfortunate
children. Dr. Coppin is a native of
South Carolina and began her work
as physician in Baltimore, Md„ with
exceptional qualifications. While in
Baltimore, and before her marriage,
Dr. Coppin was one of the ambitious
and energetic physicians of that city
who built up the hospital for colored
people. I bis hospital is an assured
success and its development merits
the much larger and finer building and
the splendid equipment which are
about to come into the possession of
the colored physicians. Dr. Coppin,
now the wife of Bishop Levi Copp:n,
A. M. E. Church, is a graduate of j
the Woman's Medical College of Phil
adelphia, and had the benefit of an
eighteen months' interneship in the

Ar.'hbishop Ireland, ''The Church and the Age."
In veriest fact, the present age, pagan in
its language and in the excess of Its qual
ities, Is In Its depths Instinct with Christian
emotions; It worships unwittingly at Chris
tIan shrines and awaits hut the warm con
tact with the living Christian religion to
avow itself Christian.
1 indIcate the opportunity for the great
and singular churchman. Hia work is to
brIdge t he deep valley separating the age
from the church, to clear off the clouds
which prevent the one from seeing the
realities of the other, to bring the church
to the age and the age to the church. We
must know that the age and the churchl
are not hopelessly apart. The age has, as
suredly, its errors and its sins, and these
the church never can condone. With the
age conceived as the embodiment of errors
and sins the church cannot he reconclled&
But these are the accidents, not .the es
sentials, in the make-up of the age. For
my part, I see in the present age one of
the mighty upheavals which occur from
time to time In humanity, causing and
marking the ascending stages in Its con
tinuous progress. Humanity strengthened
by centuries of reflection and toll, nourish.
ed and permeated by principles of Chris
tian truth, is lifting upward its whole
masn to higher regions of light and of
liberty, and demanding a fuller and more
universal enjoyment of its God-given
rights. All this Is praiseworthy;-all this is

FULL OF INCIDENTS.
Yesterday'u Base Ball Game With the
Pittaburgm.
All in all the game of base ball played
yesterday afternoon at National Park be
tween Washington and Pittsburg was quite
out of the ordinary. First of all it was be
gun in a heavy shower of rain, and play
was continued, while rain was very much
in evidenze. Then there was a vigorous
play for delay on the part of Pittsburg, in
the hope that an expected downpour would
end the contest prior to the completion of
the fifth Inning. During this interesting
and somewhat exciting side show, not
down on the program, Messrs. Hawley and
Stenzel gave utterance to sundry remarks,
uncomplimentary to Umpire Hurst. that
caused emphatic resentment after the
game from the master of the field. Next,
Pittsburg batted out moreshits than did
the locals. but Washington easily won out,
and finally the game was Interesting be
cause it marked the initial appearance of
Jack O'Brien in a Washington uniform.
O'Brien's First Appearance.
O'Brien's debut was a complete success,
although his first time at bat was some
what disappointing. He advanced to the
Vlate in the first inning, and after a warm
greeting, promptly struck out. In the
third, however, he drove a beauty to left
fer three bases, followed it up in the
fourth with a double and In the sixth wait
ed for balls. On the field, O'Brien assisted
in five plays and put out one man. He
handled the ball neatly and cleanly and
"backed up' the other players in a man
ner foreign to the local club. It would
seem that O'Brien will do very well in
deed.
Washington won because of a bunching
of hits in the third inning and because
Pink Hawley was remarkably generous
with bases, sending nine Senawrs to the
initial bag on balls. The home team start
ed the run-getting in the second. Selba::h
waited for balls, as did Lush. Tue former
stole third and a momrnt later Lush was
caugnt napping and was jumping like a
shuttle between Mack and Merritt. Sel
bach started for home, but was caught,
Lush landing safely on second. Cartwrght
struck out, but McGuire drove a double
to right and Lush crossed the plate.
Smith dropped De Montreville's fly and
McGuire scored. Four more were added i
the third on a single by Joyce, O'Brien's
three-bagger, an error by Sugden, a base
on balls to Lush, a hit by CariLwright, a
base on balls to McGuire and a hit by De
Montreville. Several times thereafter did
Washington have three men on bases, but
it seemed Impossible to bunch hits, and
additional runs were not forthcoming.
After two Pirates were out in the sixth,
Smith. Sugden and Lyons singled In suc
cession, and one score resulted. In the
eighth the performance was repeated, Sten
zel, Smith and Sugden driving out hits, one
after another, and the Pittsburg total was
increased to two.
As things were going Washingtonward,
the visitors apparently did not relish the
idea of playing in the rain, and began
plying Mr. Hurst with such questions as
"Don't you want an umbrella?"
At the opening of the fifth inning black
and omnious clouds approached and the
rain assumed threatening proportions. It
behooved Capt. Joyce and his men to get a
"move on." and they dnld so. De Montre
ville and Mercer were easy outs, and Ab
bey, who played center in place of Tom
Brown, who has ajame ankle, got in a hit,
greatly to his surprise, for he tried hard to
be put out. The plans were not to be de
feated, for he deliberately steepped off tMW
base and was touched out by Mack.
The- Fun Degan.
Then the fun began. The entire Pitts
burg club crowded around the'umpire, and
the latter was forced to shove them aside
in no gentle manner. Mack refused to go
to bat, and Mercer was irstructed to pitch
any how. Mack then blocked the plate,
but Win slammed in the ball and Connie
escaped serious injury by a quick dodge.
The Pirate manager-captain at last sent a
fly to Selbach. Hawley, the next batter,
executed the dilly-daily act and two strikes
were called on him while he was several
yards from the plate. Pink then suddenly
came to his senses and sent the next ball
pitched safely into Lush's handis. Donovan
was out. Mercer to Cartwright, and mat
ters assumed a more peaceful hue. Had a
blow been struck.- during the excitement
there is no doubt that the row would have
grown to serious proportIons, for at least
one spectator had jumped on to the field,
and awaited developments with a bat
grasped in his hands.
Again was De Montreville very much in
the game, making a jump and one-hand
catch of a ball from Donovan's bat in the
third the equal of which is seldom seen.
Ely also played great ball, and Joyce put
up as good a game at third as has been
seen here this year.

Exeitiag Game at Chicago.
The most exciting game of the season oc
curred yesterday at Chicago with Balti
more. The cbampions tpok a big lead,
which was held until the'eighth, when the
Colts batted Heifer out of the box. In the
ninth, with two Out and the bases full,
Clarke stepped on .the plate after two
strikes had been called and was struck by
the next ball. .Anson-claimed it to be the
third strike, but Umpire E~malie ruled
otherwise. Clarke, a inoment later, met in
the winning' runs with a two-bagger.

Well Matched at St. Louis.
It was a tie at 1U. Louis with the Giants.
Both clubs had scored runs in the ninth,
but rain stopped the play, and the score
reverted to the eighth. Donohue and Sul
livan both pitched good ball, but the field
work of the Browns may have seen better
days. Because of constant wrangling Un
pire Keefe. in the fiftli irming, refused to
ofliciate longer and left the field.

O'h NEW N'itLIDE. -
Sacertflcing the Bench for the Im
proTerent of t 1e Team.
The value of the latest local base ball
deal Is dawning on the patrons of the game.
Yesterday's performance by O'Brien has
healed many a wound caused by the an
nouncement that such favorites as Crooks
and Rogers were to part company with the
Senators. The new man Is easy and fast,
he has a good eye at the but, and there
Is not a suspcion of stiffness about him.
That he was nervous on his fir t appear
ance with a winning teem was natural, and
It was evident from the manner in which
he struck out In the first Inning, but he

Umpire lNarst's Course.
In referring to the pugilistic incident at
National Park yesterday the Philadelphia
Inquirer says: L V
"While the action of Mr. Hurst will be
condemned by every lover of the national
pastime who only. gees the game from a
distance, it will be dondoned by every One
who is familiar with ,the abuses to which the
umpire is subjected. The trouble is not so
much with the unipile and players as with
the sycophantic and hypocritical club own
ers, who get together twice a year and pass
rules for the government of the game, which
they will not see eaforced, and which they
do not mean shall bge enforced. If the own
era of the twelve. clubs constituting the
league had the slightest regard for their
word such sCtpes as that of yesterday would
be impossible."
Roasting the Phillies.
The Philadelphia Times grows poetic in
speaking of the departure of the Phillies
for the western trips. Following are sample
verses:
Hark! hark! The dogs do bark!
The Phillies are out of town.
If some good soul will keep them there,
We promise not to frown.
Hey, diddle-diddle, the cat and the fiddle;
The Phillies play ball-they do.
The little dog laughs to see such sport,
And every one else laughs, too.
The fireworks fiends having burned up all
the grass in Philadelphia, it is reported that
the goat has to get a living off the left field
seats, which have become mossy for want
of use.
Notes.
Pittsburg again today.
Another ladies' day.
Last game here until July 81.
Hurst again demonstrated that he is an
umpire In every sense of the word.
Joyce was presented with a costly um
brella as he went to bat in the first Inning.
Sugden was unfortunate. He suffered a
number of slight Injuries.
Abbey made a great slide to first in the
third in an effort to reeph the bag prior to
Connie Mack, the latter fielding the ball.
O'Brien placed his hits very skillfully.
De Montreville's single to left in the third
would easily have been a two-bagger had
second bare been clear.
Stenzel shut out several Washington runs
in the Leventh by a good running catch.
Three men were on bases, with two out, at
the time.
Many of the spectators followed Umpire
Hurst around the left field seats and there
seems to be no doubt that the umpire struck
Hawley and Ster.zel. The pair failed to
retaliate, but the incident caused some ex
citement.
The defeat of the Phillies yesterday sent
thei into eighth place, Washington having
the better of them by the fraction of a
per cent.
Pitcher Harper has been recalled by
Brooklyn and left Scranton last night to
jcin that club at Cleveland.
The Philadelphia Club is unloading play
ers at a rapid rate. Lucid and Beam are
the latest to go, and they, with Brouthers,
make three that were served with notices
inside of forty-eight hours.
The Louisville club is reported to be al
ready showing the effects of getting rid of
the factions, l'arrIony being alone respans
ille for yesterday's victory. Another shake
up was made last night. First Baseman
Hass--maer and Catcher Kinslow were re
leased. Catcher Warner and Pitcher Cun
ningham are on fie ragged edge. Holmes
has been re!nstatid (' center field and Dex
ter brought behind the bat. Crooks will be
Irstalled at secoad hue this afternoon and
Rogers at third,- Clinman going to short
and Cassidy to first.. For the first time in
months all the players are in harmony and
are on speaking terms. Louisville is said to
te still ready to give Fraser and a bonus to
Ihiladelphia for Lave Cross.
Haverford's "enam Abroand.
In the cricket match, between the Halley
bury, England, College eleven and the
eleven from Hav rford, Pa., yesterday the
Americans made 45 runs fnr three wickets.
Mifflin made S1:: Adams, 123; Howson, 0;
Lester, 18, and not out, and Hinchman, 8,
and not out: Haileybury made 137 runs

The Speed of iceycles.
To the Editor of rhe Erening Star:
A few days ago I saw published the pro
posed police regulations to go into effect
July 9 regarding the speed and control of
bicycles and other vehicles.
I have been a wheelman for twelve years,
and, with others who use the wheel as an
aid to business, as well as pleasure, I am
glad that rules have been promulgated to
restrain reckless travel on our city streets.
When the legal speed of bicycles was an
nounced as twelve miles per hour between
crossings and eight miles at crossings I
regarded the rate as a just one which no
careful wheelman would allow himself to
exceed in the present crowded conditions of
our thoroughfares. But now the Commis
sioners reduce the speed to eight miles
between crossings and to the very slow
rate of six miles at crossings in all parts
of the city. Many riders use their wheels
almost entirely to aid in quickly going
from place to place on business, hoping
in so doing to be able to do betiter than
the cable oars, especially in the less fre
quented streets, but if the new rules are
enforced I-t will practically make the wheel
useless to the many riders who are as care
ful, if not more so, than any driver or pe
destrian who use the streets.
The cars, weighing many hundred times
more than the wheel and rider, are al
lowed to cross the most crowded thorough
fares, such as Pennsylvania avenue and
7th street, Uth and F streets, and 7th and
F streets, etc., at ten miles per hour, places
where good wheelmen (not the fools who
would endanger life no matter what the
law provided) would not trust themselves
to 'travel at any greater speed. The wheel
may be guided around the pedestrian, while
the cars cannot. The wheel may be stop
ped much Quicker than the heavy oar. A
collision be'tween the wheel and the pedes

collision with the car. The result of such
a collision to the wheel and rider is much
inore disastrous than to the oar. The

The fact that the proposed rules were
hastened, if not created, because one care

man) caused the death of a pedestrian, has
been roted by all tvheelmen, who were in

they are in reality to be punished for the

and, going behind the counter, he brought
out a wire eggbeater. "There's something
in the egg line that will beat it, I gess,"
said he, reaching for the stakes. "Hold on

in surprise on the counter, where it broke

TO HELP THEIR RACE
Kational Federation of Afro-Ameri
an Women's First Convention.
ILL AM= ERE JULY 20
How the Movement Originated and
Some of Those Interested.
PROMTNENTPEOPLEEXPECTED
The same great body of representative
solored women of the United States who
net last year at Atlanta, Ga., as a con
grees of Afro-Americans, and which sub
5equently was officially invited by the
mayor of Nashville, the president of the
bcard. of trade and the leading men of that
ity, to attend the ceremonies of the recent
centennial, will- assemble in Washington.
Ls heretofore stated in The Star, July 20.
mnd continue in session for three days as
"The first annual ccr.vention of the Na
Lional Federation of Afro-American Wo
rien." The meetings will be held in the
Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, of which
Rev. Dr. Walter H. Brooks is pastor.
The National Federation was organized
in Boston July 31, 1893, and since tha.t
time the officers there chosen have at gre.Lt
expense of time and resource, put forth
earnest efforts in the matter of arousing
the representative colored women tfirough
out the Union to the necessity of organ
izing for erfecting needed reforms in all
things touching their home and national
life.
Results Accomplished.
"According to the usual method of com
Puting results," said one of the leaders to
a Star report-r, "we have little to show,
and it would argue our cause unimportant
in the extreme if more could have been
accomplished in so short a time, particu
larly when the newness of such movements
and the slowness or our people, generally
Speaking, to act upon co-operatne lines,
is taken into consideration.
"If, however, we could estimate the value
of the National Federation as a source .f
Wholesome inspiration, not only to many
languishing clubs, but our struggling wo
mren wherever situated or approximate the
possible good flowing from its suggestive
influence, viewed from a public and racial
standpoint; then, indeed, would we have
just and abundant cause for great rejoic
ing.
"Many clubs have been organized anti
the Federation greatly strengthened. The
poor mothers out on the plantations of the'
far south have been reached and they will
speak in no uncertain tones at our coming
convention.
"In the eyes of the public we have suc
ceeded in establishing the fact that our
women are thoroughly alive to the great
possibilities of a powerful body of Afro
American women in influening public sen
timent and legislation in favor of the race
at large, and having accomplished this
,much at great odds, we have appealed to
our women whereter situated to come to
our aid, and by their sympathy and co-op
eration assist in making the approaching
convention an educative influence on ah
the people.
"Washington was selected as the place of
meeting in order t0 give our -women an op
portunity of attenung the Ghiistian Ena
deavor mecting. ther-by taking advantage
of the cu, rates. In every way compatibe
with dignity and consistency we have
striven to unify the affairs of our women.
and we believe we have tne confidence of
the public in this our crucial year to suc
ceed in this as well as other grave ques
tions of the hour, and we have urged our
women to strengthen the efforts made by
the officers by rallying en'thusiastically and
attending the conven-tion, for, as we be
lieve, 'the battle for womanhood is the bat
tle for the race.'"
The Ladies' Auxiliary.
The Isadles' Auxiliary of Washington,
Mrs. B. K. Bruce, chairman, and Mrs. Jesse
Lawson, secretary, is taking great interest
in the convention, and is doing much to
make the visit of the delegates, as they
hope, a pleasant one, and Mrs. Lawson is
chairman of a large committee on hospi
tality, while she has been and is tireless in
her efforts to do all that can be done to
ward assuring a hearty and enthusiastic
reception to the women who will be here
from all parts of the Union.
It is considered remarkable by those who
have taken a leadhi.g interest in the up
building of the National Federation that In
cne year it should have grown to twice its
original size, and that it should awaken in
terest in and receive responses from the
women of the race all over the country,
and is believed to speak well not only for
the future of organized work among color
ed people, but also for the energy, Intel
ligence and self-sacrifice of the otficers.
The cc-nvention promises to be a remark
able one, not only for the characters of the
women who will assemble and be represent
ed, but also r the scope of the work which
has been planned.
Some Topies to Be Discussed.
The need of Christian homes for wayward
and erring girls will be an issue. The sep
arate ear law will be generally discussed
and measure, it Is hoped, adopted for hav
ing it expunged from the statute books of
the states in which the system operates.
"The decirion of the Supreme Court of
the United States on the separate car law
comes as a disappointment,"~ said one of
those who expects to take a prominent p art
in the debates of the convention to a Star
reporter; "brut hardly as a surprise to mil
lions of loyal American citizens.
"It cannot be denied tat sentiment
against the negro and his rights is growing
rapidly. As the black man acquires money
and education new barriers are raised
against him; sometimes old obstacles, which
pity for helplessness and Ignorance caused
to be removed, are being rebuilt, and it is
only to a few enlightened minds that the
caure of the negro has any interest at all.
"In time the problem must work itself out
and in the meantime the negro has got to
make himself felt. There is no wisdom,
virtue, policy or manhood in bearing every
thing put upon one. 'Appeals for justice by
voice or pen go very little ways at present;
practIcally no attention whatever is paid
to therr and the time has come when they
must be backed by aggressive action and a
physical as well as mental resistance to
every abrogation of manhood rights.
"If laws are unjust they must be con
tinually broken until they are killed or
altered. The thing to do is to force the
recognitio~n cf manhood by any and all
means."
No Dierenees With Other Organisa
tions.
It is stated that many people labor un
der the mistsaken idea that thereare differ
ences between the Natior~al Federation of
Afro-American Women and other organi
zations, and this is denied by those best in
formedt
"Until the movement," said one of these,
"inaugurated by the women of Boston
which resulted in the formation of the Na
tional Federation was pioneered to suc
ess, the colored woman as a factor in
club life, except locally, was unknown.
Not so now, and the Na onal Federation
feels justifiably encourae. At the com
ing convention efforts will be made to ac
complish tangible results by' bringing to
gether the women who have founded
homes, orphanages and hospitals, that our
coming women may gather inspiration and
the -public be educated as- to the actual
work our women are strIving against odds
to do.
Origin of the Movenment.
The National Federation is the outgrowth
of a movement started by Mrs. Booker T.
Washington 'a few years ago in the town
di Tuskegee, Ala., in which the institu
tion over which her husband presides is
located.
Mrs. Washaington is an able coadjutor of
her husband in his educational work, and
although she, with him, had for years been
engaged In efforts fo improve the mental
and business qualities of the students com
mitted to their care, her mind was for a
long time filled with anxiety to do some
thing to benefit the poor colored women of

provement, - -
It 114E I source of much grief to Mms.
Washingrian that anh Saturday a larem
tumber of women living in Tuaseegee and c
nany from the surrounding country would I
rather in the streets of the town and spend 4
heir time in idle conversation with men I
nd with each other.
After giving'the subject a great deal of
sensideration, Mrs. Washington jecured a i
racant room over a large store, and caused a
rnouncement to be made that on the fol- 4
owing Saturday and at a given hour she I
would be pleased to meet all the women I
who chose to call there.
The hour arrived. Mrs. Washington was I
n her place to receive visitors, but none
ame. Finally a smanl boy peeped Into the 4
'-om. Mrs. Washington spoke to him kind
y and he ventured farther in. Mrs. Wash
ngton asked the boy If he had seen any
women down the street, and he replied. lots 4
)f them.
At Mrs. Washington's request the boy
wrent back to the street and told every
woman he met that there was a lady in the
room who wanted to see her, and after
nuch persuasion about a dosen agreed to
Mo and meet the lady.
As they entered the room Mrs. Washing
ton. as she afterward told a friend, was
Illed with fear and trembling. She want
d to tell them of the plans she had formed
to help them to be and to do better, but for
, while her speech failed her. At last.
thowever, the words came to her, and her
hearers received her meessme gladly and
Pr omised hearty co-operation.
A club was at once formed. and ever
since it has been meeting regularly. The
handful of members with which it was
utarted has increased to more than 20, and
It Is said that the amount of good that
has been done by the members is almot
Incalculable.

Mrs. Booker T. Wakstngten.
Mrs. Booker T. Washington, the wife of
the founder of the Tuskegee Normal and
Industrial Institute, in the black belt of
Alabama, Is a graduate of Fisk University.
Fhe was elected president of the National
Federation of Afro-American Wcmen i'%
Boston In July last, and has, through ear
nest and well-directed effort, kept the ob
ject and alms constantly before the colored
women of the country. She has accom
plished wonderful results through organ
ized womanhood in her own section, and in
an Incredibly short time the Tuskegee Wo
man's Club has grown to more than two
hundred members under her direction. Says
she In an address to the women of her
race: "Trie honored womanhood, enlight
ened motherhood, and happy, comfortable
homes can only be secured by concerted
effort on the part of the women of our
land." fier ardent desire seems to be to
unite the women of her race In a purpose
noble and true, tending to the upbuilding
of the masses.
She was first vice president of the Atlan
ta congress and did much to add to thE
success of that organisation; Is an indefati
gable worker along lines of intellectual and
irdustr!al education, and a woman of strong
Christian piety..
Mrs. Frances E. W. Harper.
Mrs. Frances E. W. Harper was born in
Baltimore, Md., in 1825. Her parents were
not slaves, and yet she was subjected to the
inconveniences and Ill influences of the
slave law, which held within Its grasp both
bond and free. Before her third year her
mother died, and from that time until she
was thirteen years old she was cared for
by her uncle, who sent her to school.
Before she was of age her first volume,
"Forest Leaves," was published. She took
a great interest In the slavery agitation,
and assisted many slaves in escaping from
bondage to freedom.
Mrs. Harper has for many years been a
most energetic temperance worker, and has
held sway with the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union as no other Afro-Ameri
can woman has ever done, and her work
in this respect has given the race great
prestige before the world.
She is regarded as a profound writer in
both prose and poetry; a lecturer of no or
dinary tact and ability; a master-hand at
whatever she applies herself. Her pen is
ever at work; her writings are many and
varied.
Mrs. Faunie M. Jackson Coppln.
Of Mrs. Fannie M. Jackson Coppin it
is said: "She has a giant Intellect and
powerful force of character, with keen
insight to duty, and a wise zealousness in
the discharge of the same, with well-devel
oped business capacity of unusual pro
portions, and supported by strong exec
utive and financial abilitjes."
Mrs. Coppin was born a slave in Wash
ington, D. C., and was purcrhased by her
aunit, Mrs. Sarah Clark. She was then
sent to Newport, R. I., where abe attend
ed school, graduating some years later at
the High SchooL. She then entered Oberlin
College, Ohio, where she took the men's
course, because In the course laid down
for the women there were certain studies
omitted. She proved herself equal to the
task and stood aide by side, and shoulder
to shoulder with the men, In whose de
partment she had entered.
Mrs. Jackson has the honor of being the
first colored person to teach a class at
Oberlin College, which she did with suc
cess for two years.
After relinquishing her position at Ober
lin she removed to Philadelphia, where
abcut 186I-'i8 she began a movement to
have an industrial school opened, so that
colored young men and women could learn
t'rades that would be useful to them in
after life. She succeeded In purchasing a
lot of land at a cost of $l7,Ot00, and erected
ther(on buildings in which nearly 44141 per
sons are learning trades.
The men learn stone masonry, plastering,
bricklaying, carpentry, shoemaking, tail
oring and typewriting, and the women.
dressmaking, millinery and cooking. This
immense undertaking has been from its
beilnning the work of Mrs. Coppin, who
has successfully carried -it to completion,
r:.iring by her -own personal elgorts evety
etnt of the enormous cost of this Indus
trial work. Shs has-traveled extensively
in the United States and also In foreign
countries.
Mrs. W. E. Matthews.
Mrs. W. E. Matthews, "Victoria Earle,"
who is regarded as a very gifted writer,
was born May 27. 1861, In Fort Valley. Ga.,
being the youngest of nine children, all of
whom were slaves. She left Georgia In
1869, spent about three years In Virginlg
and reached New York In 1872, whore she
entered the public sohoois, In which she re
mained four years, only being compelled
by necessity to leave and go to work for
the support of a widowed mother and her
self.
Despite this great obstacle to one so
young and so Intensely fond of study, she
did not stop her pursuit of knowledge be
cause of obstacles and discouragements,
but pushed her way onward, hewing out a
pathway for herself; and In this way she
has applied her power. as a thinker and
writer. About ten years ago she began to
write stories, and has also edited the
"household columns" in several journals,
and has from time to time contributed to
moat if not all the leading Afro-American
journals and magnse.
She has worked on many of the New
York leading datlies for years as a "'sub,"
among them, the Times, Herald, Mail and
Express, Earth, Sunday Mercury and the
Phonographic Word and has also written
articles for Ragwoods Journal of Fashion.
Among her stories are "Aunt Lindy,"
"Little Things," "Well," "Under the EUm,"
"The Underground Way," "Steadfast and
True," "Nettle Mills," "Eugenia's Mis
take," "?Eelika" and others of peculiar in

A DAM AS A LANDMARE.
Disceery of am Anetent Home at
Beavers saes 1thek Lamd.
From the Pittsharg Telegraph.
A very Interesting suit has just been de
cided in the court of common pleas of
Huntirgdon county.
About two years ago a Clearfield county
surveyor, Thomas WV. Moore, aloplied at
the land office in Harrisburg for a war
rant upon a tract of land in Carbon town
ship, this county, claiming that the land
was vacant. The warrant being issued,
the Rockhill Iron and Coal Company dis
covered that the tract was one of their
most valued pieces of coal land, worth
40.000. They, therefore, fled a caveat pro
testing against Moore's claim, and at the
hearing Secretary Stewart decided that
the contriveray was too complicated for
him or his office. and referred it to the
courts of this county for settlement.
Upon the trial of the case, which oc
cupied six days of court, Moore claimed
that the land called for in the old war
rant of 178t, on which the company based
their title, was not located on the tract
in dispute at all, but somewhere else in the
township.
The line trees having nearly all disap
peared the company would have had some
trouble establishing their title had it not
been that their old warrant of 17N4l called
for a beaver dam In Great Trough creek,
and that the company had taken the pre
caution to send Prof. Wilcox of Phila
delphia, an expert on beavers and their
habits, and two surveyors down to search
for the old dam
The professor and his assistants dug
down Into the bottom of the stream at
the point where legend fixed its location,
After taking out a couple of feet of wash
and gravel which had accumulated in the
bed of the creek within the last century,
they were rewarded by fLding the old dam
made by the beavers during or prior to the
revolutionary war. The cribbIng sticks of
the dam were found btried side by side in

ers' teeth were plainly visible In the wood.
When the sticks came into contact with

♪ Women have reared all the sons of the brave. ♪ ♪ Women have shared in the burdens they gave. ♪ ♪ Women have labored this country to save, ♪ ♪ and that's why we are wanting to vote. ♪ Pardon me if I may be so bold to speak a word. Most of my life has been spent battling against wrongs as a colored woman. But I've used my pen to write about the injustices suffered by my people. And I make the proud claim that I am the first black woman to publish a short story. My name is Frances Ellen Watkins Harper. Some years ago I stood within the shadows of my home. A great sorrow had fallen upon my life. My husband had died suddenly, leaving me a widow with four children, one my own and the others my stepchildren. I tried to keep my children together, but you see, my husband died in debt and before he'd been in his grave for three months they had swept the very milk crocks and wash tubs from my very hands. You see, I was a farmer's wife and I was making butter for market. But what could I do? When they had swept all the way. They did leave me one thing though. and that, was a looking glass. Now, had I died instead of my husband, how different would have been the result? No one would have gone into his house, broken up his home and taken away his means of support. Justice is not fulfilled so long as woman is unequal before the law. No nation can gain its full measure of enlightenment and happiness, if 1/2 of it is free and the other half of it is fettered.

ETTER.
REV. ff: JGENTl
The llev. FatheftrxUgent while
on his trip in the South has this
to say ot the co'oretl people: "In
my estimation, the race problem
is the vital question in the future
of the south. Factories will come
with time and population. Lands
will be occupied and brought un
der cultivation. New industries
will arise, and trade and commerce
wili increase. Education, too,
will change the political and social
ideas of the people, but the race
problem will have to be settied on
different principles. The more
hopeful and less philosophical
think that the question will adjust
itself. But there are many thought
ful men who think otherwise.
Mississippi is spending a million
and a half a year in educating her
people. Of course, the larger por
tion of this goes to the education
of the negro. The franchise law
is fast educating him to vote.
Numerically, the colored race is
largely in the ascendency. Inside
of a century, they will undoubtedly
hold the balance of power, and
with higher education, they must
certainly become far enough ad
vance to know the value of a vote.
It will then be a question of who
will rule. The whites declare that
they will never snbmit to the do
minion of the colored race, and it
the colored race have the number
and the intelligence tli vote, it is
difficul to see, under our form of
a free government, how the white
people can help themselves. It is
believed here that the negro, as a
race, will never be able to compete
with the white. But they may fall
into the hands of great political
leaders that will raise them to a
higher plane. It mnst not be for
gotten they have already had a
Tonssaint L'Overture, who in his
own sphere was a match for Na
poleon Bonaparte, and later still,
a Fred Douglas, who may be re
garded as the Daniel O'Connell ot
their race. 1 look upon the two
races as two trains, running on
roads that are not exactly parallel,
and that there must be a place
somewhere in the future where
one of those trains will take the
lead, or where a disastrous collis
ion may occur."
The Reverend gentleman
though wrong in his political af
filliations, [is sometimes on the
right side of great questions. We
view the question of race domina
tion as father Nngent-dons.
Colored Doctor Honored
Dr. Robert Jones Abele, Ap
pointed on Medical Staff
of Hahnemann.
Last week j|)r. William Van
Lennep, surgeon-iu-chief of the
Hannemann Hospital, appointed
Dr. llobert Jones Abele as assist
ant to Dr. Leon T. Ashcroft, in
the genito urinary department of
that institution. The term is for
one year beginning April 15, '07.
This appointment is the first recog
nition of a colored physician by
any white medical college on its
staff in America, and the appoin
tee is one of the youngest to hold
such a position.
Dr. Kobert Jones Abele, as his
name indicates, comes of a well
known Philadelphia family. lie
was born June 2, 1S7J, and first
attended the (). V. Catto school.
He continued his studies at the
institution for Colored Youth,
Mrs.' Fannie M. Jackson-Coppin,
principal, from which he graduated
in June, 1SS1, being the prize
winner of the English literature
prize. Entering the Hahnemann
College in 1892, he graduated
1S95 with an average of 90.9. In
the State medical examination in
1895 he secured a certificate, with
an average of 98. G, the highest
ever attained, and in competition
with the candidates from nearly
all the best colleges in this coun
try and Europe. There were
many applicants for the place to
which Dr. Abele has just been ap
pointed, and this in face of the
fact of his being a colored msyi
and the youngest practitioner in
Philadelphia. Besides being an
alumnus of Hahnemann, he is a
member of the Homoeopathic Co.
Medical society.
We might add that this is but
one of the many worthy examples
where merit and not the person,
where ability and not birth wins.
We are proud of this example, let
all of us strive to excell and let
honesty, and punctuality be your
motto.
l'KKSS COMMKMTS.
New York Tribune.-Robert J.
Abele, a young colored man who
won the highest honors before the
Medical Examiners of Pennsylva
nia this year, is a graduate of the
Philadelphia Hahnemann Medical
College.
Philadelphia Public Ledger-A
colored medical student, Kobert J.
Abele, has won honor for his race
and distinction for himself by
seeming the highest average (9S.()
attained by a student of any medi
cal school since the organization
of the Medical Council of this
State. The record is not only
highly creditable to the student,
bnt it shows that color is no bar
to the attainment of professional
education.
Mr. Dennis S. Thompson, in a
paragraph in his review of the
colored politicians of the West,
which appeared in the Colored
American laat week, does not ex
press himself as sanguine of Mr.
Waller's success in his candidacy
far the appointment for the posij
tion of Recorder of Deeds for the
mm
DES MOINES, IOWA. APRIL 2, 1897.
District of Columbia.
Mr. Thompson, no doubt, has
a candidate for the liecordership,
in whose interest he is writing, but
he may yet learn that he is no
Prophet, in his forecast of the
defeat of Mr. Waller for the poai
tian above referred to. We are
in a position to advise Mr. Thomp
son, and others who may deem it
necessary to oppose Mr Waller,
that the latter is very much in the
race for the liecordershp, and
those persons who have thought it
pert to sneer at his candidacy are
now confronted with the realiza^
tion that he is a most formidable
candidate. In the meantime Mr.
Waller is conducting his candi*
dacy, in the mo^ courteous, and
gentlemanly manner toward all
I he candidates as well as all those
who are working in person.
The Leavenworth Herald in its
last week issue stated that "the
Bvstandek was trying to dictate
the Presidential appointments for
Kansas by suggesting Mr. Wal
ler.''
Brother Bruce, we are not try
ing to dictate Kansas appoint^
ments but as the Recorder of
Deeds ot the District of Columbia
is a National p"sition, and not a
state place. Furthermore, if each
state should suggest a different
candidate there might be such a
complicated contest among our
race that we may loose the place
factional division is what has hurt
the negro politician more than any
one thing.
Mr. Waller is broad, liberal, com*
petent, and worthy. He lihts in
the open, and would not stoop to
stab a man in the dark. He is a
representative of the race, in a
true sense of the word. lie is
broader than states.

MUCHAKINOCK NOTES.
The most laughable thing this year hap
pened last week. The match between
Henry Rhodes and Sam. Willis to see who
had the best team of horses. Rhodes put
30}4 bushels of nut coal on his wagon and
hauled it to Well3 & Co.'s store. Then
Willis's team took the load
,r- Jl
1
4
mile south
to Dr. White's residence and returned,
which is up a very steep hill and rough
roa.l, Rhodes then took it and started
away on a trot, but when he got almost to
the top of the hill he could not get it any
further, and Willis had to go up and get
Rhodei out, and at that time the cheers
for Willis's victory was deafening.

A good joke on a schoolma'am comes
from Cumberland Gap, and is told by
the Middlesborough News. A lady
teacher told one of the boys to name
all the presidents, and when he re
plied he couldn't the teacher said:
"When I was as old as you I could
name all the presidents in their or
der." The boy replied: "There were
only a few presidents then."

Biography/History

Dr. Ruth Wright Hayre (1910-1998) was a distinguished educator and administrator in Philadelphia's public school system, as well as a philanthropist. Dr. Hayre was the first African American high school teacher in the School District of Philadelphia (William Penn High School, 1946), the first African American high school principal in Philadelphia (William Penn High School, 1955), the first African American public school superintendent (District Four, 1963), and the first female president of Philadelphia's Board of Education (1990).

Ruth Wright Hayre graduated from high school at age 15 and received a scholarship to attend the University of Pennsylvania. Three and a half years later, Hayre graduated with a bachelor's degree in education. By 1930 she had a master's degree in English literature, also from the University of Pennsylvania. After receiving her degrees, Hayre worked as a teacher, and later, as a principal in Arkansas before moving on to teach in both Dayton, Ohio and Washington, D.C. She married Talmadge Hayre in 1937 and returned to Philadelphia in 1939, when he accepted a position at Cheyney State College. In 1942 Hayre started working as a junior high school teacher in Philadelphia, until she became the first African American high school teacher in Philadelphia at William Penn High School in 1946. This set her on the path to the distinguished positions listed above: high school principal, public school superintendant, and Board of Education president.

Ruth Hayre came from a line of prominent African Americans in the Philadelphia area. Her father, Bishop Richard R. Wright, Jr., was the first African American to receive a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, served as President of Wilberforce University, and was appointed a bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Her grandfather, Richard Robert Wright, Sr., was the first African American paymaster for the United Stated Army (1898), served as President of Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youth (1891-1921), now Savannah State University, and founded Citizens and Southern Bank of Philadelphia.

Between Two Worlds: Black Women and the Fight for Voting Rights

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Was there ever a time when your voice wasn't being heard?

During the 19th and 20th centuries, Black women played an active role in the struggle for universal suffrage. They participated in political meetings and organized political societies. African American women attended political conventions at their local churches where they planned strategies to gain the right to vote. In the late 1800s, more Black women worked for churches, newspapers, secondary schools, and colleges, which gave them a larger platform to promote their ideas.

But in spite of their hard work, many people didn't listen to them. Black men and white women usually led civil rights organizations and set the agenda. They often excluded Black women from their organizations and activities. For example, the National American Woman Suffrage Association prevented Black women from attending their conventions. Black women often had to march separately from white women in suffrage parades. In addition, when Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony wrote the History of Woman Suffrage in the 1880s, they featured white suffragists while largely ignoring the contributions of African American suffragists. Though Black women are less well remembered, they played an important role in getting the Fifteenth and Nineteenth Amendments passed.

NPR Jazz Musician Tribute Poem-Sonia Sanchez

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In a salute to National Poetry Month, award winning-poet Sonia Sanchez reads "10 Haikus for Max Roach," which she penned to mark the occasion of the passing of her good friend jazz drummer Max Roach. The poems are part of upcoming book by Sanchez, titled "Morning Haiku."

MICHEL MARTIN, host:

This is TELL ME MORE from NPR News. I'm Michel Martin.

Just ahead, the design for the National Museum of African-American History and Culture has been selected. We'll speak with the leader of the winning design team in a moment, and one question we'll ask is: Does race matter in the selection of the design or design team? Should it matter? That's just ahead.

But first, we continue with our celebration of National Poetry Month, which we've been marking this month by bringing you the voices of an array of poets.

Today, Sonia Sanchez, a professor at Temple University in Philadelphia. Sanchez described herself as a person who's been writing for many years, trying to answer the question: What does it mean to be human?

In August, 2007, her friend and fellow Philadelphian, jazz drummer Max Roach, died. Sonia Sanchez wrote this piece in commemoration of his passing. It's called "10 Haikus for Max Roach."

Ms. SONIA SANCHEZ (Poet; Professor, Temple University): One. Nothing ends. Every blade of grass remembering your sound, your sound exploding in the universe. Return to Earth in prayer. As you drummed, your hands kept reaching for God. The morning sky so lovely, imitates your laughter.

You came, warrior, clear, your music kissing our spines, feet tapping, singing impeach our blood. You came, drumming sweet life on sails of flesh. Your fast beat riding the air, settled in our bones.

Your drums soloing our breaths into the beat - unbeat - unto the beat - unbeat - unto the beat - unbeat. Your hands shimmering on the legs of rain, your hands, shimmering on the legs of rain.

A poem for Max Roach, and that last one, your hands shimmering on the legs of rain, is on his tombstone, up in the cemetery where he is buried with all the greats - Dizzy and Count Basie, and he's joined that great group of men who are buried there. So that was a great honor to be a part of that.

(Soundbite of music)

MARTIN: These poems are called "10 Haikus for Max Roach" by Sonia Sanchez. They can be found in her new book, "Morning Haiku." To hear another poem by Sanchez, titled "Questions," please check out our Web site. Go to the TELL ME MORE page at npr.org.

I Speak of Wrongs”—Frances Ellen Watkins Harper

Frances Ellen Watkins Harper was one of many black women who joined the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, generally as part of segregated chapters. A supporter of the Fifteenth Amendment and founding member of the American Woman Suffrage Association, Harper famously exposed racial inequities at an 1866 suffrage convention, "You white women speak here of rights. I speak of wrongs." Although a leader in the WCTU, she became disillusioned with the group's lack of commitment to anti-lynching laws. Her novel, Iola Leroy, was among the first published by an African American woman and dealt with the issues of race, class, and temperance.

Ona Judge - Runaway how slaveholders used newspapers

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Enslaved people ran away from bondage so often that slave owners placed some 200,000 "runaway slave" ads in newspapers across the country in the decades before slavery ended following the Civil War. One of these slave owners was George Washington, who conducted one of the era's most well-documented hunts for a runaway slave, while he was still in office. Arlene Balkansky, reference librarian in the Serial and Government Publications Division, goes through the Library's newspaper holdings to document Washington's search for a young woman who defied the father of the country, and then documents the long history of such ads. Balkansky recently published this piece on the Headlines and Heroes blog and we are pleased to post a slightly longer version here.
Fugitive slave ads abounded in American newspapers until the end of the Civil War. These abhorrent descriptions - penned by slave-owners who viewed people as property - still bear witness to the bravery and unique characteristics of the people who escaped slavery, albeit sometimes temporarily, and defied a massively powerful system allied against them.

An important part of that system was the Fugitive Slave Act passed by Congress and signed by President George Washington, who owned more than 100 slaves himself, in February 1793. The act made it a federal crime to assist those who had escaped slavery or to interfere with their capture. It allowed the pursuit of "persons escaping from...their masters" everywhere in the United States, North and South.

Three years later, in the spring of 1796, George and Martha Washington were living in Philadelphia, the temporary capital of the young nation. The president - then 64 and in his next to last year in office - and his wife kept a number of slaves with them, rotating their captives back to their Mount Vernon plantation in Virginia every few months so that they would maintain their slave status under the laws of the day. One of these enslaved people was Ona "Oney" Judge, a slender young woman of about 20, who was a skilled seamstress and served as Martha Washington's "lady's maid." Judge was the property of the Custis family from Martha Washington's first husband.

When Judge learned that Martha Washington intended, upon her death, to make a wedding present of her to the Washington granddaughter Elizabeth Park Custis Law, she took matters into her own hands. On the evening of May 21, 1796, she waited until the Washingtons sat down to dinner, then walked out of the President's House in Philadelphia. She was gone.

Washington set out to recover his wife's property. He had ads placed and rewards posted, leading to this remarkable sentence in The Philadelphia Gazette & Universal Daily Advertiser on May 24: "Absconded from the household of the President of the United States, ONEY JUDGE, a light mulatto girl, much freckled, with very black eyes and bushy black hair." The First Family was caught completely off guard. According to the ad: "there was no suspicion of her going off, nor no provocation to do so, it is not easy to conjecture whither she has gone, or fully, what her design is." Shortly after, another Philadelphia newspaper ran a similar ad.

We know where Judge went and the ways in which she was pursued largely through newspaper interviews she gave in the 1840s, when she was in her 70s and technically still a "runaway slave." She had sailed to Portsmouth, New Hampshire to escape. One of Washington's aides found her there and tried to convince her to return to Mount Vernon. After she rejected his offers, the aide left, but eventually returned to bring her and her infant daughter back by force. That attempt was thwarted, however, and no further attempts followed. While George Washington made provisions to free his slaves in his will, this did not free those enslaved by the Custis family, including Judge. She remained free through her own actions, living until 1848.

"She wanted to be free," reported the Anti-Slavery Bugle in 1845, citing an interview with Judge herself. The story appears on the same page as a review of Frederick Douglass's memoir, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave. Quickly becoming a bestseller, the memoir is an early example of the famous abolitionist's eloquent and effective writing, in this case documenting his time enslaved and his escape.

The vast majority of those who escaped or attempted to escape enslavement in America were never well-known, though. The only record we have for many are fugitive slave ads, some 200,000 of which were published. Chronicling America provides this Topics Page and a window to finding thousands more ads.

One of the most detailed, humanizing and chilling runaway slave ads that I found in a search of Chronicling America is for Peter (as was common, no last name given). Humanizing in its favorable description of Peter's appearance and intelligence. Chilling in its reference to his being "easily frightened by the whip." Peter's description also makes reference to a scar, as do many of the descriptions in the ads.

The same ad ran in the Southern Telegraph, a newspaper in Rodney, Miss. It ran from May 27 to September 27, 1836, sometimes twice within an issue. It also ran in the Natchez Courier, according to the ad.

Another type of fugitive slave ad was for runaways who had been captured and jailed. I cannot claim a thorough search, but I did not find an ad for Peter "in Jail," so we have some reason to hope that Peter eluded capture and was able to remain free, although it is possible he was returned directly to the owner. Tragically, many of those who escaped were captured. If they were not claimed, they were sold at auction.

On Sept. 18, 1850, the Fugitive Slave Act, as amended and strengthened by Congress, was signed by President Millard Fillmore, as part of the controversial Compromise of 1850.

Runaway slave ads continued to be published in newspapers during the Civil War, but they no longer had the full power of the federal government behind them with the passage of the Confiscation Acts and with President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, both applying only to those enslaved within the Confederacy. Slavery as an institution in the United States finally ended with the ratification of the 13th Amendment on December 6, 1865.

RUNAWAY! How George Washington, Other Slave Owners Used Newspapers to Hunt Escaped Slaves

World War I created a transformation for African Americans from the "old" to the "new." Thousands moved from the rural South to the industrial urban North, pursuing a new vision of social and economic opportunity. During the war black troops fought abroad "to keep the world safe for democracy." They returned home determined to achieve a fuller participation in American society. The philosophy of the civil rights movement shifted from the "accommodationist" approach of Booker T. Washington to the militant advocacy of W.E.B. Du Bois. These forces converged to help create the "New Negro Movement" of the 1920s, which promoted a renewed sense of racial pride, cultural self-expression, economic independence, and progressive politics.

Evoking the "New Negro," the NAACP lobbied aggressively for the passage of a federal law that would prohibit lynching. The NAACP played a crucial role in the flowering of the Negro Renaissance centered in New York's Harlem, the cultural component of the New Negro Movement. NAACP officials W.E.B. Du Bois, James Weldon Johnson, Walter White, and Jessie Fauset provided aesthetic guidance, financial support, and literature to this cultural awakening. The NAACP's efforts on the international front included sending James Weldon Johnson to Haiti to investigate the occupation of U.S. Armed Forces there. In the courts the NAACP prosecuted cases involving disenfranchisement, segregation ordinances, restrictive covenants, and lack of due process and equal protection in criminal cases.

The NAACP Flag

In conjunction with the anti-lynching campaign, in 1920 the NAACP began flying a flag from the windows of its headquarters at 69 Fifth Avenue when a lynching occurred. The words on the flag were "a man was lynched yesterday." The threat of losing its lease forced the NAACP to discontinue the practice in 1938. The original canvas flag is housed with the NAACP Records in the Library of Congress Manuscript Division.

Interference with the Universal Negro Improvement Association

The NAACP vied with the UNIA for the support of the black masses. The competition was exacerbated by Marcus Garvey's personal conflicts with W.E.B. Du Bois and other NAACP officials and mutual accusations of wrongdoing. In January 1922, Marcus Garvey was arrested on mail fraud charges regarding the sale of Black Star Line stock.

In his newspaper the Negro World, Garvey blamed "All the troubles on certain organizations calling themselves Negro Advancement Associations." He accused them of sabotaging the ships "to bring about the downfall" of the UNIA. James Weldon Johnson asserted that "such a statement applied to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People could be characterized only as a malicious falsehood of the most contemptible sort." In this letter Garvey responds to Johnson's demand for a retraction.

The Arkansas Cases

In October 1919 bloody riots erupted near Elaine, Arkansas, after a white mob attacked a mass meeting of black farmers for trying to organize a union. As many as two-hundred blacks and twenty whites were killed. The black defendants were tried by an all-white jury. Twelve were sentenced to death and sixty-seven to long prison terms. The NAACP appealed the convictions to the Supreme Court. In 1923 the Supreme Court overturned the convictions in Moore v. Dempsey, ruling that the defendants' mob-dominated trials were a violation of the due process guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. The landmark decision reversed the court's previous ruling in the 1915 case of Leo Frank, who was convicted of murdering Mary Phagan, a 13-year-old employee of the Atlanta pencil factory that he managed. Later, Frank's death sentence was commuted by Georgia's governor, which led a mob of angry citizens to storm the prison where Frank was being held and lynch him. As a result of the Moore ruling, Frank's grateful lawyer, Louis Marshall, joined the NAACP's legal committee.

The Crisis Magazine

The NAACP established The Crisis in 1910 to provide a monthly magazine for its members. Under the editorship of W.E.B. Du Bois, The Crisis became the premier outlet for black writers and artists. Like the National Urban League's magazine Opportunity, it sponsored an annual literary contest offering cash prizes. The Amy Spingarn Contest in Literature and Art was funded by Joel Spingarn and his wife Amy between 1925 and1928. In 1930 The Crisis announced the creation of the Du Bois literary prize, funded by Louise Mathews. The cover illustration, shown here, by Laura Wheeler Waring reflects the interest in African themes and aesthetics popular during the Harlem Renaissance.

Fire in the Flint

In 1924 Walter White published his first novel, Fire in the Flint, the story of an idealistic black physician who is lynched in Georgia. NAACP counsel Louis Marshall asked his son-in-law, philanthropist Jacob Billikop, to help promote the book. In this letter, White thanks Billikop for his assistance and defends the novel's credibility by recounting eleven lynchings he investigated in Brooks and Lowndes counties, Georgia, in May 1918. Fire in the Flint received mostly favorable reviews and became an international bestseller.

Criteria for Negro Art

In February 1926 W. E. B. Du Bois sponsored a symposium, "The Negro in Art," in The Crisis to spark debate about the appropriate course for the arts. He feared that black writers were jeopardizing the civil rights cause by depicting the "Negro underworld" versus the Talented Tenth to appease white patronage. He espoused his own view in this manifesto, in which he insisted that "all art is propaganda"-a tool for race uplift. To illustrate his point, he wrote Dark Princess (1928), a novel about a plot by the darker races to end European imperialism. Du Bois's substantial writings included five novels, poetry, short stories, and a historical pageant.

God's Trombones

James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) was a major architect of the Harlem Renaissance, believing that artistic achievement was key to the progress of African Americans. The former diplomat developed alliances with white philanthropists to support the movement. Johnson's poetry, anthologies, and histories also made him an important contributor to the Renaissance. His most celebrated work, God's Trombones (1927), a tribute to the "old time Negro preacher," was inspired by his many visits to churches as an NAACP speaker. Johnson broke new literary ground by avoiding the use of Negro dialect; the book consists of free verse sermons that capture the oratorical style of the folk-preacher in standard English. The first edition was illustrated by the painter Aaron Douglass.

NAACP Officials Celebrating Twentieth Anniversary

In 1929, the annual conference of the NAACP convened in Cleveland to mark the association's twentieth anniversary. The NAACP had much to celebrate. It had launched a successful anti-lynching crusade, won important legal battles, and organized 325 branches across the country. The Crisis, the Association's official organ, was the leading black periodical with a circulation of more than 100,000. Among the NAACP officials seated in the front row (left to right) are W.E.B. Du Bois, editor of The Crisis; James Weldon Johnson, NAACP Secretary, 1920-1930; Robert Bagnall, Director of Branches; Daisy Lampkin, Regional Field Secretary; Walter White, Assistant Secretary, 1918-1929; William Pickens, Field Secretary; and Arthur Spingarn, Chairman of the Legal Committee.

The Free Library is pleased to announce a new digital resource that provides access to the most distinguished African American Newspapers in the United States. Cardholders now have access to 10 historic Black newspapers that help piece together a fuller story of American history, which features stories that were omitted from textbooks and mainstream newspapers.

The Historical Newspapers - Black Newspapers collection from ProQuest, provides remote full-text access to The Philadelphia Tribune (1912-2001), The Chicago Defender (1910-1975), The Pittsburgh Courier (1911-2002), The New York Amsterdam News (1922-1993), The Atlanta Daily Word (1931-2003), The Baltimore Afro-American (1893-1988), The Los Angeles Sentinel (1934-2005), The Michigan Chronicle (1936-2010), The Norfolk Journal and Guide (1916-2013), and The Cleveland Call and Post (1934-1991). Users can search across this entire collection, or use our direct link to access The Philadelphia Tribune by itself.

Black newspapers help tell a more complete story of American history. Their stories cover news and issues that impact Black people, that would not be told elsewhere, and would certainly not be told from a Black perspective. ProQuest describes the collection as providing "unprecedented access to perspectives and information that was excluded or marginalized from mainstream sources." The content includes primary sources like articles, obituaries, photos, editorials, and more, and is easily accessible to students, researchers, and anyone who wants to learn more about the history of race relations, journalism, local and national politics, education, African American studies, and more. With coverage of the first Black White House correspondent and stories of the cultural explosion of the Harlem Renaissance, to Philadelphia-centric events, like police brutality under Mayor Frank Rizzo, the murder of Octavius V. Catto, and the emergence of Philadelphia soul, these publications "reveal history as it was being made, by the people who experienced it."

More about select newspapers:

The Philadelphia Tribune (1912-2001)
The oldest continuously published daily Black newspaper in the U.S., The Philadelphia Tribune was founded by Christopher James Perry. His paper conveyed ideas and opinions about local and national issues affecting blacks in the post-emancipation period, and today continues to serve the country's fourth-largest African American community. The Philadelphia Tribune campaigned to appoint Black citizens to the board of education, city council, and the judiciary. It actively supported the growth of the United Way fund and launched a "clean block" program, promoting the health, safety, and well-being of the city's residents. The newspaper fought against segregation and rallied against the race riots in Chester, Pennsylvania. Access nearly 90 years of news written by and for African Americans.

Chicago Defender (1910-1975)
The Chicago Defender has been a leading voice of the Black community well beyond the Windy City, with more than two-thirds of its readership outside Chicago. The newspaper was a proponent of The Great Migration, the move of over 1.5 million African Americans from the segregated South to the industrial North from 1915 to 1925. It reported on the Red Summer race riots of 1919 and editorialized for anti-lynching legislation and the integration of Blacks into the U.S. military. This newspaper also supported the aviation career of Bessie Coleman, the first African American female pilot, and promoted the writing of Langston Hughes, a poet and leader of the Harlem Renaissance, and Gwendolyn Brooks, poet laureate of Illinois. Over six decades of this newspaper's historic coverage is available online and easily searchable for both researchers and readers.

New York Amsterdam News (1922-1993)
From an initial $10 investment, the New York Amsterdam News grew to become one of the nation's leading Black newspapers and one of New York's most influential Black-owned institutions. For nearly a century, it has helped influence and promote the causes and aspirations of African Americans. Contributors have included W. E. B. Du Bois, Roy Wilkins, Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., and Malcolm X. The New York Amsterdam News captured the vibrancy and cultural richness of the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s, advocated for the desegregation of the U.S. military during World War II, and fought against discriminatory employment practices and other civil rights abuses in the 1960s. More than 70 continuous years of cover-to-cover news from this remarkable publication is available online now.

The Baltimore Afro-American (1893-1988)
Founded by former slave John Henry Murphy, Sr. when he merged three church publications, The Baltimore Afro-American became one of the most widely circulated African American newspapers on the Atlantic Coast. In addition to featuring the first Black female reporter (Murphy's daughter) and female sportswriters, the paper's contributors have included writer Langston Hughes, intellectual J. Saunders Redding, artist Romare Bearden, and sports editor Sam Lacy, whose column influenced the desegregation of professional sports. Through the decades, the newspaper fought for equal employment rights, urged African American participation in politics, and advocated state-funded higher education for Blacks. In the 1930s, The Afro-American launched "The Clean Block" campaign, which is still in existence today, to clean up inner-city neighborhoods and fight crime. The paper stationed correspondents in Europe and the Pacific during World War II, providing first-hand reports to readers. In the 1950s, working with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the newspaper's efforts contributed to the outlawing of public-school segregation. To see history being made, start here.

The Norfolk Journal and Guide (1916-2003)
Under the leadership of P.B. Young, the "Dean of the Negro Press," The Norfolk Journal and Guide became one of the best-researched and written newspapers of its era, with a circulation of more than 80,000 by the 1940s. It argued against restrictive covenants, rallied against lynching, encouraged blacks to vote, supported improvements to city streets and water systems, and more. In contrast to other Black newspapers, such as the Chicago Defender (with which The Norfolk Journal and Guide is cross-searchable), this newspaper campaigned against The Great Migration of Southern laborers to the North. It was one of only a few Black newspapers to provide on-the-scene coverage of the 1930s Scottsboro trial and helped raise legal funds for the nine young black defendants.

During the first half of the 19th century, the size and popularity of the railway system in the U.S. contributed to the code names slaves and abolitionists used to describe the operations of the Underground Railroad, such as "passenger", "cargo", "station", "depot", "stockholder", and "conductor". Because many slave and abolitionists were well-versed in the bible, they also used biblical code words, such as "River Jordan", "Heaven", "Promised Land", and "Moses".

The facilitators, or conductors, of the Underground Railroad, typically comprised free black persons in the North, formerly escaped slaves, and abolitionists of all backgrounds, such as Thaddeus Stevens, William Still, Thomas Garrett, Isaac Hopper, John Brown, Elijah Anderson, Levi Coffin, and, of course, Harriet Tubman. While it was harder to for slaves to flee from the most southern states-like Alabama and Mississippi-because they were surrounded by other slave-holding states, nearly every state had some Underground Railroad activity. Refer to this list of historic Underground Railway locations to see if one is in your area.

Similarly a person who kept slaves as property is a "slave holder" and not a "slave master" or "slave owner," since the latter two terms connote a relationship of superiority over other human beings. These vocabulary terms and others -such as personal liberty laws, redemption, and manumission -

To begin this inquiry lesson, students can construct a timeline from the National Endowment for the Humanities and Library of Congress's Chronicling America newspaper sources and the Digital Public Library of America. Students might also research people and key phrases around these critical years:

The conductors of the Underground Railroad knew how to take advantage of all possible angles. Freedom-seekers rested during the day and conducted most of their long-distance travel (5-10 miles) at night when they were less likely to be visible. If daytime travel was unavoidable along the railroad, passengers took up errands and chores to make it appear as though they worked for someone in the area. Although the winter could be a dangerous time to flee due to the bitterly cold climate of the north, it also offered much longer periods of darkness under which to take cover.

Because railroad trips took place in secret, there is little documentary evidence of the trips. However, the Underground Railroad has generated a lot of lore surrounding the signals allies would send to one another. Some believe that songs such as "Follow the Drinking Gourd" was a reference to the Big Dipper and the North Star that led passengers in the direction of free states. For more information about other songs from this era, visit EDSITEment's Music in African American History lesson. Similarly, the EDSITEment lesson entitled Stories in Quilts addresses how quilts may have been used to direct slaves toward stations of safe passage. While historians are uncertain about whether or not songs and textiles could have been used to convey secret messages in the Underground Railroad system, they are nonetheless important aspects of African American culture in the 19th century. Researching and Interpreting the Underground Railroad is a National Park Service resource that provides questions, guidance on conducting primary source research, and addresses the limitations of researching this era in U.S. history.

Activity 1. The Life of Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman (Araminta Ross) was born in March 1822 in Dorchester County, MD. Her grandmother, Modesty, was brought to America to be enslaved. Of Tubman's eight siblings, three sisters were sold. As a slave, she performed a variety of tasks, including tending to young children and setting animal traps in the fields. In one childhood incident, a slave manager threw a 2 lbs. metal weight at another slave, but it hit Harriet's head instead. As a result, Harriet suffered neurological problems for the rest of her life, but she also attributed her injury to contributing to her great courage and sense of purpose. Harriet Tubman is standing to the far left in this family photo.

In 1844, Tubman married John Tubman, a free man, and she changed her first name to Harriet, after her mother. When her owner died, she and two of her brothers, Ben and Henry, fled to free territory. After seeing a fugitive slave ad, the brothers returned, taking a reluctant Harriet with them. Eventually, with the help of Quakers from Maryland, Tubman sought freedom again, this time crossing the Choptank River into Pennsylvania. Later, she returned to Maryland to find that her husband had remarried, so she decided that she would continue helping slaves cross into free territory as her personal mission.

As Harriet herself said, she never lost a passenger. Her methods were clever and determined. Because those who knew Tubman believed her to be illiterate, she would hide behind a newspaper or book when she was at risk of being identified. When freedom-seekers got cold feet and requested to turn back, she would threaten to kill them, chastising them for cowardly putting the entire group in danger.

Students may consider the following questions as they learn about Tubman:

1. What characteristics or qualities did Tubman possess that made her a particularly good leader in the Underground Railroad?

2. Who were Tubman's allies and how did they help her?

3. Why should Tubman be considered an important woman in the history of the United States?

Activity 2. Conducting the Underground Railroad

Students can work in pairs or small groups to analyze the primary sources and respond to the corresponding questions. The letters and documents used during this activity can be incorporated into the mapping activity and assessment.

Group 2.

Group 3.

Discuss the following questions after reading about the documents related to her Harriet Tubman's involvement in the Civil War and then struggle to receive payment for her services.

Activity 3. Mapping the Underground Railroad

The Underground Railroad developed many routes in nearly all directions. Some were more successful than others. Using the following resources and the handout provided, detail one route of the Underground Railroad and provide information about that route, including:

In addition to using Google maps of thestudents should consult the Historic Hudson's People Not Property. This interactive website details what enslavement looked and felt like, as well as explains the consequences and trade-offs that enslaved persons constantly had to negotiate in their effort to resist oppression.

A list of Underground Railroad preserved sites in each state is provided below under Lesson Extensions. In addition, read about the route to Mexico in South to Freedom.

In order to synthesize the information they have learned about Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad, students will write a proposal to Congress, urging their representatives to dedicate a monument to Harriet Tubman, or one of her contemporaries, in a way that they feel appropriately encapsulates that person's accomplishments. Some possibilities include, but are not limited to:

Depicting Harriet Tubman on U.S. currency

Naming a highway or other public site in her honor

Erecting a statue or monument

Declaring an annual national holiday

Using primary sources as evidence, students will argue for Tubman's important place in history, what kind of honor she should receive, and why a particular day/location/medium was chosen. Their proposal should be accompanied by a prototype, mock-up, or simulation to provide Congress with an idea of the honor. After a teacher's review, students can send their proposals to their representatives.

The National Park Service has compiled a list of historic sites known to be stations or important meeting points on the Underground Railroad.

Our Headlines and Heroes blog takes a look at Harriet Tubman as the most famous conductor on the Underground Railroad. Tubman and those she helped escape from slavery headed north to freedom, sometimes across the border to Canada. With the Texas origins of Juneteenth in mind, let's also remember a lesser-known Underground Railroad that headed south from Texas to Mexico.
Harriet Tubman escaped slavery on Maryland's Eastern Shore in 1849. She then returned there multiple times over the next decade, risking her life to bring others to freedom as a renowned conductor of the Underground Railroad. She was called "Moses" for her success at navigating routes, along with knowing safe houses and trustworthy people who helped those escaping from slavery to freedom. Prior to the Civil War, newspaper coverage of her successful missions was not extensive, but what is there serves to document the breadth of her successes in engineering these escapes.

Tubman was born Araminta Ross around 1822. Her earliest attempted escape was with two of her brothers, Harry and Ben, as found in an October 1849 "runaway slave" ad, where she is referred to by her early nickname, Minty.

While that first attempt was unsuccessful, Tubman escaped on her own soon after. Although the ad does not reflect it, she had already adopted the first name, Harriet, perhaps in honor of her mother, Harriet Green Ross. She also had married and taken her husband John Tubman's surname.

From December 1850 through 1860, she returned to Maryland approximately 13 times to lead 60-70 family members and other enslaved individuals to freedom, as detailed in Kate Clifford Larson's Bound for the Promised Land: Harriet Tubman, Portrait of an American Hero.

In October 1857, two groups of slaves escaped from the Cambridge, Maryland area. Tubman did not directly guide them, but is credited with indirectly helping them by providing detailed instructions. Forty-four men, women, and children escaped in what was described in the press as "a great stampede of slaves."

Multiple articles about these escapes stated that fifteen individuals had fled from Samuel Pattison. The Pattison family had held Tubman and most of her family in bondage. Tubman's connections to the area were strong.

In the late 1850s, Tubman's speeches at antislavery and women's rights conventions gave her a platform to tell her personal stories recounting the horrors of slavery, her escape, her efforts to rescue others, and the need to fight for freedom and equal rights. Articles about her speeches from this time are difficult to find because she was often introduced using a pseudonym to protect her from being captured and returned to slavery under the provisions of the Fugitive Slave Act.

In addition, Tubman's speeches, if written about in newspapers, were only described and briefly quoted, rather than printed in full, as other abolitionists' speeches sometimes were. She was illiterate so no written copies of her speeches appeared to be available.

On April 27, 1860, Tubman's rescue efforts moved from Maryland to New York, with the rescue of Charles Nalle, who had escaped slavery in Culpeper, Virginia, but was arrested in Troy, New York, where Tubman was visiting. A large mainly African American crowd freed Nalle twice and Tubman is credited in some accounts with taking the lead in his rescue. When she spoke about these events at the Woman's Rights Convention in Boston in early June 1860, the Chicago Press and Tribune reporter responded with racist outrage at the audience's favorable reaction to Tubman's story of Nalle's rescue, as well as her recounting of her trips back to the South to bring others to freedom. Antislavery publications at the time applauded Nalle's rescue, but initially did not mention Tubman by name. Later coverage of Tubman's role was often laudatory and dramatic.

The lengthy 1907 article that accompanied the illustration in The San Francisco Call, focused on Tubman's lifelong commitment to gaining black freedom and equality. This and several other later articles are featured in Harriet Tubman: Topics in Chronicling America, recounting her Underground Railroad days, her impressive Civil War service as a nurse, scout, and spy in the Union Army, and her post-war efforts. Certain content in these profiles may have been embellished at times, in keeping with such contemporary biographies as Scenes in the Life of Harriet Tubman (1869) and Harriet, the Moses of her People (1886), both by Sarah H. Bradford, and Harriet Tubman, the Heroine in Ebony (1901), by Robert W. Taylor, financial secretary, Tuskegee Institute. These books provided some financial relief to a nearly destitute Tubman. The article, " Troubles of a Heroine," which Taylor wrote just prior to his book's publication, requested that checks be sent directly to Tubman for the payment of the mortgage of her property so that she could turn it into an "Old Folk's Home." Twelve years later, on March 10, 1913, Tubman died at the Harriet Tubman Home for Aged Negroes, Auburn, New York.

These newspaper accounts offer us valuable glimpses into the extraordinary heroism of Harriet Tubman, as well as providing examples of the wealth of primary sources available in Chronicling America.*

Sheet music from "Go down, Moses (Let my people go!)"

Tubman: Conductor of the Underground Railroad
If anyone ever wanted to change his or her mind during the journey to freedom and return, Tubman pulled out a gun and said, "You'll be free or die a slave!" Tubman knew that if anyone turned back, it would put her and the other escaping slaves in danger of discovery, capture or even death. She became so well known for leading slaves to freedom that Tubman became known as the "Moses of Her People." Many slaves dreaming of freedom sang the spiritual "Go Down Moses." Slaves hoped a savior would deliver them from slavery just as Moses had delivered the Israelites from slavery.

A nursemaid with her charge around 1855

Tubman's Early Years and Escape from Slavery
Harriet Tubman's name at birth was Araminta Ross. She was one of 11 children of Harriet and Benjamin Ross born into slavery in Dorchester County, Maryland. As a child, Ross was "hired out" by her master as a nursemaid for a small baby, much like the nursemaid in the picture. Ross had to stay awake all night so that the baby wouldn't cry and wake the mother. If Ross fell asleep, the baby's mother whipped her. From a very young age, Ross was determined to gain her freedom.
