THE POSSIBILITY OF PROGRESS

The possibility of progress with regard to the Colored Americans is

emphasized by Professor Charles S. Myers of England, who gives the

results of his personal observations in other nations.

Even viewing our Colored Americans as a primitive people with only two

generations of removals from the primitive state, Professor Myers says:

“The possibility of the progressive development of all primitive peoples

must be conceded, if only the environment can be appropriately changed.”

It is in evidence every day, that the “changed environments” of the

Colored race in the United States, has forwarded their progressive

development to an enormous degree.
