forthcoming ~The High Cost of
Prejudice,~ and." Arthur. B.
Spingarn, president of the National Association for the Ad-.vancement of Colored People,

both point out that this is not
the first Negro renaissance.
Two. earlier on~s came after
freedon from slavery, and after

World War I.

The first American Negro
novelist able to earn a living
sut of fiction was William
Wells Brown, who published
a book just 99 years ago. In
tha last century there were

such noted singers as Elizabeth
T. Greenfic!l1 and Blindtom.
Later came Poet Paul Lawrence
Dunbar and Novelist Charles
W. Chestnut

The stcond renaissance,
the 1920~s is remembered beSt,
perhaps, for ~The Fire, in the
Flint.~ by Walter White, N. A.
A.C.P. executive, who believes
it was the first novel about the
south written regardless of the
possibility of offending white
southerne#s. }

Miss Davis: ~Orfe reason why
the Negro artist has produced
more and better work is that
in rectnt years he has had
more money. More Negroes att2nd more concerts by Negroes, r2ad more books by Negroes, and that~s an important
kind of -oncouragement.~ _

Dixon: ~The creative urge
was always there. but it was
hampered by a lack of educatio and th2 Jassitude due to
poor food and living.~

Jcsh White: ~It~s because of
war, at least in my cas2.
When the orchestras and bands
were called to play for Army
camps, the public wanted som?
thing to take their place, and
it took the songs which Id
been -writing~ for years, but
which it hadn~t listened to before I think the gains
mac? in the last five or ~six
years will not be lost.~

Duncan: ~America today is
more intereted in all the arts
than she used to be... A
much, much Bigger percentag?
of Negroes is going to college,
than ever before, and so their
influence is f2lt in the arts.

~A re-examination of official
documents reveals that Dorie

Miller, Negro-messman who shot
down four planes during the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, should go into the permanent record as the first Ameriean hero of World War II,~ declared Dr. L. D. Reddick in a
Navy day address before the
3ist annual meeting of the Association for tha Study of Negro Life and history.

Dr. Reddick, curator of the
Schomburg collection of Negro
literature of the New York: Publie library, pointed out that
Captain Colin P. Kelly, Jr., is
nopularly corsidered to be the
first Am?r
War II. Kelly was currently reported to have sunk the Japanese battleship ~~Haruna~ from
his plane on Dec. 10, 1941. ~It
is now known that the bombed
ship did not sink, though it was
damaged~.and that it was the
cruiser ~AShigara~ rot the battleship ~Haruna.~

~Captain Kelly is still a great
hevo,~ declared Dr. Reddick, ~and
justly deserved his Distinguish~2d Service cross: however,. his

navy pOlicy toward Negroes durimg the past war, Dr. R2ddick,
who is making a study of the
Negro record in all branches of,
the armed services, declared that
the navy attitude went through
three stag2s; first, Negroes were

boys. Secondly, they were. accepted for general service but

segregated as ~much as possible
from white seamer in their assignment. Finally, segregated
training and assigning were abolished socially and the nayy
was well~ on the way to implement ~this~ policy at the close of
the war.

~There is te a great deal to~
be done to make th? mavy truly democratic,, but the-~ solid
gains made. during the past war
are indeed heartening,~ a wa
Dr. Reddick. ~Some of thse
improvements are traceable, to
general, conditions, the clash.of
ideologies and the cvitical manpower needs of th2 war. Some
of the credit ought to go to Presid2mt and: Mrs. Roosevelt, Secy.
of the Navy Forrestal and other
individuals and organizations
that were friendly~ to the Ne.

credit must. be given to the Negro people thtmselves who thru
their own organizations and
newspapers kept up a_ steady
barrage of protest and suggestion against undemocratic practices.~
