    [PAGE 1] KANSAS CITY CALL TENTH ANNIVERSARY AND PROGRESS EDITION Vol. 10 No. 13 Kansas City, Mo., July 27, 1928. PROGRESS THE PROGRESS of Negroes in the United States is so great that history will point out what you have done as one of the achievements which mark this age. Your rise is one of the best proofs of the value of the American theory of government. Successes by individuals here and there have been multiplied until now yours is a mass movement. You are advancing all along the line, a sound basis for your having confidence in the future. The world’s work needs every man. I look to see the Negro, prepared by difficulty, and tested by adversity, be a valued factor in upbuilding the commonwealth. In the Middle West, where The Kansas City Call is published, lies opportunity. In addition to urban pursuits you have available for the man of small means, the farm which is one of the primary industries. The Negro in your section can develop in a well rounded way. Above all things, take counsel of what you are doing, rather than of the trials you are undergoing. Look up and go up!

Taylor’s EL18 or 118: “Tales of the Real World” in the Nonfiction Writing Program, Department of English, Brown University. The New York Times paper was dimpled and blurred from the morning’s rain, but its headline still put a knot in Max Hoberman’s stomach: “Reichstag Meeting Today is Prepared to Give Hitler Full Control as Dictator”. Ten o’clock on March 21, 1933, and international affairs already looked dismal. Spring had just arrived, and 1933 promised to be one of the most tumultuous years in the nation’s history. The Great Depression had reached its most horrific stage, with hundreds of thousands of “Okies” traversing the dry, dusty Midwest towards California, homeless families constructing drab shantytowns in the underbellies of America’s cities, and a quarter of the country’s workforce looking for jobs. Providence, Rhode Island, a city jammed with factories for textiles, silverware, machine tools and jewelry, saw its economy plummet along with the country’s. It, too, viewed the state of national and world affairs with uncertainty. On March 4, the new President Franklin Roosevelt addressed this trepidation in his inaugural speech, observing famously “that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Soon thereafter, he introduced New Deal Legislation and began passing acts such as the Emergency Banking Act, which helped to reopen and fund banks across the nation.
