But he can never expect to be given the same educational and social privileges with the white man and he doesn't expect them. The best education we can give him is to use his hands, because that's how he must earn his living. It always has and it always will be."<br /><br />"An Oscar for Hattie" - An article about Hattie McDaniel's Academy Award for her role as Mammy in "Gone With the Wind."

The Southern Frontier, vol. 1, no. 2
Published by Commission on Interracial Cooperation (CIC), <em>The Southern Frontier</em> was a monthly newsletter, first issued in January, 1940. Aiming to share the stories overlooked by traditional newspapers, the newsletter published stories of social progress, as well as stories of racial injustices faced by African Americans across the American South. <br /><br />As described by the then President of the CIC Howard W. Odum, the name <em>The Southern Frontier </em>alludes to the need for even greater pioneering and progress in the social and cultural frontiers, the American South being the a turbulent field in reference to race relations and progress at the time.<br /><br /> Vol. 1, no.2 contains contributions by: <br />Geo. E. Davis<br /> Mack Goss<br /> W. L. Anderson<br /> L. D. Ames<br /> J. D. Lawhorn<br /> A. J. Finch <br /><br />Articles include:<br /><br />“Ku Klux Klan Needs Airing” – An article urging more newspapers to alert the public of the return to activity by the Ku Klux Klan.<br /><br />“The Education of Public Opinion” – An article discussing the education of public opinion by the Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on the topics of mobs and lynching, and tax-supported education for Negroes. Rosenwald schools are discussed, as well as the public misconception the blacks make no real financial contributions toward their education. (Public education was segregated at this time.)<br /><br />"'More Libraries, More Racial Pride'" - An article about libraries for African Americans in rural areas. "It was agreed that information about members of their race who succeeded in art, literature, and business is essential to the creation of racial pride in Negro children."

The Rights of the People -- Women Are People. Suffrage Victory Map [ESL of Virginia / NAWSA broadside]
This broadside has a map at top that shows the extent of woman suffrage across the United States. At this time, women could vote in presidential elections in some states; in municipal elections in others; and only with regard to school bond and tax matters in others. <br /><br />The lower half of the broadside is titled "VIRGINIA WOMEN WANT THE VOTE." The text was created by the Equal Suffrage League of Virginia. It argues that two out of three women across the state, in both rural and urban location, are suffragists. "Virginia women who are asking for enfranchisement are BY NO MEANS A SMALL MINORITY." <br /><br />"The child and the home are the greatest assets of the nation. <br />The Farmer's Wife is his working partner. She helps him to pay taxes on roads and schools. She should have the right on where and how these roads and schools are built; to elect the school trustees who determine what her children shall be taught." <br /><br />"Virginia wives and mothers should vote upon public health laws and moral laws which vitally affect the welfare of the family." <br /><br />The broadside then addresses the argument that a federal amendment permitting women to vote will increase the voting power of African Americans in the south. With the Civil War and Reconstruction only fifty-four years in the past, the southern states were against any federal law reducing their right to control who could vote. The ESL makes the argument that the states' power to levy poll taxes, have residency requirements, and require that voters be able to read and write will be sufficient. <br /><br />"Whte Supremacy. There is now no negro domination under male suffrage in the counties in Virginia where white people are in the minority, and there will be no negro domination with men and women voting." <br /><br />The broadside also argues that women are conservative voters, so woman suffrage will not increase the socialist vote.

The Opinion of Those Who Ought to Know: What Representative Negroes Say of the Interracial Movement [pamphlet]
A compilation of quotations from prominent Southern African Americans on the Commission on Interracial Cooperation. Included are Robert Russa Moton, Mary McLeod Bethune, Dr. Isaac Fisher, Dr. Alfred Lawless and others.<br /><br /><span>Founded in Atlanta in 1919, the CIC functioned as the major race reform organization in the South during the period between the world wars. While it never openly challenged segregation or advocated racial equality, it did strive for an end to racial violence and for better treatment for all classes of black men and women (</span><a href="https://docsouth.unc.edu/highlights/cic.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bridging the Gap: The Commission on Interracial Cooperation</a><span>, 2009).<br /><br />Excerpt, p.2 <br />"Dr. R. R. Moton, Principal Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala.: <br />'The usefulness of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation has very far exceeded anything that I expected of it. Its actual service to the cause of mutual understanding and good will between the races has abundantly justified the time, labor, money and thought that have been put into it....'"<br /><br />p.3<br />"Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, President National Association of Colored Women: <br />'No agency has contributed more to the establishment and maintenance of tolerable relations between the black and white races in the South than has the Interracial Commission....A decrease in lynchings, an improvement in educational facilities, a sympathetic study of the Negro in clleges and universities, and the appearance of influential Negro leaders before selected audiences of white people, to discuss the race question from the Negro's angle, are some of the unusual and salutary concrete results of the activities of the Interracial Commission.'"<br /><br /></span>

The Negro Vote in the South. A Southern Woman's Viewpoint [suffrage flyer]
NWSA flyer containing an essay by Mrs. Guilford Dudley of Nashville, TN. Mrs. Dudley addresses the fear among white Southern Congressmen that if all women are given the vote through a Federal Suffrage Amendment, the increase in black voting power will be detrimental to the nation. Dudley notes the success of "educational tests" that limit black voter registration. <br /><br />For similar arguments with regard to compulsory education, see "<a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/show/331" target="_blank" title="Need of Compulsory Education in the South" rel="noreferrer noopener">Need of Compulsory Education in the South</a>."

The Map Blossoms [editorial cartoon by Blanche Ames Ames]

Ames (Blanche Ames Ames) from <em>Woman's Journal and Suffrage News</em>, Vol. 46, No. 21, May 22, 1915.<br /><br />Uncle Sam prunes a tree marked "Liberty" growing in a pot marked "Equality." The tree blossoms into a map of the United States. Atop the map a caterpillar marked "Anti" [Anti-Suffrage] glares at Uncle Sam. A watering can marked "Justice," an insect-sprayer called "Logic," and large pruning shears marked "Education" and "Truth" rest near the base of the tree.<br /><br />Caption reads: <br />Uncle Sam: "Prune away Prejudice and these four States will blossom in November."
