The Golden Age, “Facts About the American Negro — Negro Characteristics”

26 de mayo de 1920 · pp.551-552 · Woodworth, Hudgings and Martin, Brooklyn, New York

“the faithfulness of Negroes has endeared them to true Americans in all ages. … The Negroes are peaceful and law-abiding. They have never been accused of night-riding and lynching. They have shown that they can suffer without becoming embittered, and can forgive those who have done them wrong. As a race they are happy, gentle, affectionate and humorous; and most of them are honest and industrious.”

A sub-section of the same unsigned cover article. It is offered in the black population's defence, against the claim that black Americans were disorderly, and it is immediately followed by an anecdote about a former slave who returned each Christmas to his old master. The section "The Negro and The South" that follows says the best type of Southerner "tries to be just to the Negro and to avoid pampering him".

Notes. The section stands between the lynching figures and the account of a former slave who returned each Christmas to his old master, inside an article written against the treatment of black Americans.

The Golden Age, “Facts About the American Negro”

26 de mayo de 1920 · pp.547-552 · Woodworth, Hudgings and Martin, Brooklyn, New York

“For two centuries the American people as a whole profited by the unpaid labor of the Negro and then set him adrift, ragged, unguided and unlettered, to assume the burdens of citizenship and to be further exploited by politicians, to his real injury. … In the thirty years, 1889-1918, lynching mobs murdered 3,224 persons in the United States, of whom 2,522 were Negroes and 702 were white persons.”

The unsigned cover article of the issue runs to six pages. It traces the slave trade, notes that New England capital financed it, gives census and occupational statistics, describes black economic advance in the Mississippi delta, and reprints at length a Chattanooga Times account of a lynching by torture. It closes by saying the remedy for "the injustices the Negro has suffered, and still suffers" is the coming Kingdom.

Notes. The critical sites consulted for this topic do not cite this article. It is the longest treatment of race in the 1920 volume and takes the opposite side from the magazine’s harsher race material.
