Races Dependent Upon Each Other, Says Dr. Du Bois.

RACES DEPENDENT UPON EACH OTHER,
SAYS DR. DU BOIS

“If true democracy began at home, foreign nations would not criticize our attempts to carry it to the South Sea islands and other isolated parts of the globe,” Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois declared in a talk last night at St. mark’s Methodist church. Dr. Du Bois is the founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the editor of the Crisis magazine and the recognized successor of Booker T. Washington. A large audience, many of the white race, heard him.

The ware has proved that the interests of all people are so intertwined that no people can live alone,” Dr. Du Bois declared. “Liberia is a failure because it is a state isolated from the rest of the world.

“It is in protest against the treatment received from superior groups that negroes and others segregated themselves in our great cities. Such ways of living are not in accordance with American ideals.”

W. H. Ray presided at the meeting. The program included vocal solos by W. B. Richardson and Mrs. Minnie Adams, a prayer by Rev. William Majors, a violin sool by Henry Williams, and an introductory talk by Miss Ethel Ray.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People includes representatives of all people who are pledged to gain an understanding of how to obtain better relations between all races. Dr. Du Bois, as its founder, has received honorary degrees from a number of universities and has been widely recognized.
