Editors To Debate
Negro War Issue
NEW YORK
(ANP)
During 1942 the Negro has been discussed more than in any single year since the Reconstruction period, according to the statement of Dr. L. D. Reddick, in the announcement of the next book forum of the Schomburg collection of Negro Literature of the New York Public Library.
"Many daily newspapers and national magazines with wide circulation seem to have re-discovered the Negro," the announcement added. The Survey Graphic, the New Masses and the Annals of the Academy of Social and Political Science have put out splendid issues.
For this reason the Schomburg collection will bring together the editors of these special issues on the Negro and the war in a book forum debate Friday evening, January 8. Each editor will tell why his magazine put out its particular issue on the Negro and will comment critically upon the special issues of the other editors present.
