Paper Used
Winston Salem Journal April 1938
NEGROES IN WINSTON-SALEM AND NORTH CAROLINA
Almost any data twenty-five years old about Negroes in ancient
history. A statement of progress among the group in nearly every field
of human endeavor would be unbelieveable if there were not at hand indis-
putable facts to support it. in the city of Winston-Salem alone, if
the full measure of development in business, industry, education, home-
ownership and all the rest, could be told, it would surprise and no
doubt greatly please even the best informed white citizens of the city.
The history of Negro education in Winston-Salem, as will be seen
from another article in this issue of the Journal-Sentinel, is a thrill-
ing story of growth and development. Opportunities for education in
the city offered to Negroes cover the entire range from the first grade,
even the Nursery school, through elementary and secondary school, and a
first-class four-year college.
There are five excellent well-organized and well-taught elementary
schools. These schools accommodate 4,841 children and cost $942,518.
The Atkins High School is one of the best high schools in the
Southern States for either race. It is one of a half dozen schools in
the South which received large contributions from the Rosenwald Fund.
As an aid in building and equipping this handsome structure, and making
it possible for teaching vocational subjects that would be useful to
Winston-Salem, the Rosenwald Fun gave $50,000.
The Winston-Salem Teachers College, a state-owned, and state-
supported instiution, founded by its former President, Dr. S. G. Atkins,
is a unique college, and is rendering service to most of the counties in
North Carolina.
