DR. WOODSON SPEAKS OF THE · NEGRO .lliD RELIGION -

"Evurything that the race has developed came frorrl the N~:g~o ' church. " , , ;:his thought was in-delib~y . ~tamped in the

. milnds of all whc satin :vef)P!3rs o~. ,Su~day, January 2.2" under the voice of Dr. C~rter G. Woodson, the r'ounder o f 'the Association for the Study of Negro Life and ~~story and the publish­e..r. of. numerous book~ on

, ,~egro life and history. "All that is left of

the Negro's religion is found in his. songs and folk lore," asserted Dr. Woodson.

Many Negroes became P9we~fulpr~achers just by listeningto ' the white preachers. ' These preachers were great forces in the lives of Negroes.

" When the white man . thought that the Negro was learn~ngtoo much, he began to teaCh ' them' by "catechiz­ing" them.

.. That the Negro church oifel's a great opportunity for the Negro today was an emphatic statement made by the speaker.

"To the man that loves more than hates, cooperates with good forces for better­ment . rather than with the evil; and sacrifices him­self, God'hath promised • more life," concluded Dr. Woodson.
