We, the Negrrea of La; U, DirlIonCounty, Sputh Carolina "notewith keen pleasure, and deep ap*preciation the Third National No.ui i i\e\vspaper Week, March 16L2,1941 in Palmetto Leader.

This big celebration stretchesall over America, as the Negrohas been concerned and operatingthis /mighty enterprise Sfor 114

.years. Thra great.medium.oitransportation, expatiation and information has been the means ofunleaching the Negro's thought,an<t pen, and made him heard and

W felt across the world. He is anv* aged, ripe and stable adept in the

newspaper business. 1;He.docs not now stutter, nor

-Hemimer his utterances, dislikespreferences and rights, etc. Theentire earth knows him as andable to express himself wisely,"prudently, thoroughly and potentlythrough the press. How admirable,and effectual and eloquent-

.T-ly he does this is immediately andbrilliantly, displayed and circulat«ed over our own find Palmetto

It Leader, Columbia, S. C.' In his press, he finds, an awaiting,and a vast territory, where

he can gamble in Belle* lettersor roam in the mysteries, and interpretationsof all phases of diction,and tongues, to suit his needsand reveal his wishes and exposehis feelings. The press is as muchessential t# the Negro as his owrras his home, his school or church.His press to teachV inform, encourage, praise criticize, condemn advertize,etc.

The Negro press should betherefore, supported by him. Rea

as a group, can respect and es- ^teem our own enterprise, andheartily cooperate, and support -jour own concerns. That is, after J*11, fee least we can, or should do ifor ourselves.
