A noted man who is doing a great work along the line of betterment of
the Colored Americans and directing their thoughts into high altitudes,
is W. E. Burghardt Du Bois, known as the editor of “The Crisis,” A
Record of the Darker Races.
Dr. Du Bois stands on the principle that intellectual emancipation
should proceed hand in hand with economic independence, and he is making
himself felt by the earnest advocacy of a truth that must impress the
people for whose interests he is laboring.
It may not be known to everybody that Dr. Du Bois is one of the
Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People.
The movement of nations toward the accomplishment of the designs of the
Almighty to make all nations one, and in the supremacy of the
intellectual over physical force, is well understood by Dr. Du Bois, and
he is working along that line with other ardent humanitarians. He aims
to accomplish a world peace and a realization of human brotherhood.
To turn our attention to another race, William Jennings Bryan looms up
conspicuously with the others in his struggle to bridge the chasm of
prejudice and place all men upon the road toward human betterment and
universal peace.
