Herein lie buried many things which if read with patience may show the strangemeaning of being black here at the dawning of the Twentieth Century. Thismeaning is not without interest to you, Gentle Reader; for the problem of theTwentieth Century is the problem of the color line.
The alternative thus offered the nation was not between full and restrictedNegro suffrage; else every sensible man, black and white, would easily havechosen the latter. It was rather a choice between suffrage and slavery, afterendless blood and gold had flowed to sweep human bondage away. Not a singleSouthern legislature stood ready to admit a Negro, under any conditions, to thepolls; not a single Southern legislature believed free Negro labor was possiblewithout a system of restrictions that took all its freedom away; there wasscarcely a white man in the South who did not honestly regard Emancipation as acrime, and its practical nullification as a duty. In such a situation, thegranting of the ballot to the black man was a necessity, the very least aguilty nation could grant a wronged race, and the only method of compelling theSouth to accept the results of the war. Thus Negro suffrage ended a civil warby beginning a race feud. And some felt gratitude toward the race thussacrificed in its swaddling clothes on the altar of national integrity; andsome felt and feel only indifference and contempt.
So here we stand among thoughts of human unity, even through conquest andslavery; the inferiority of black men, even if forced by fraud; a shriek in thenight for the freedom of men who themselves are not yet sure of their right todemand it. This is the tangle of thought and afterthought wherein we are calledto solve the problem of training men for life.
The function of the Negro college, then, is clear: it must maintain thestandards of popular education, it must seek the social regeneration of theNegro, and it must help in the solution of problems of race contact andcooperation. And finally, beyond all this, it must develop men. Above ourmodern socialism, and out of the worship of the mass, must persist and evolvethat higher individualism which the centres of culture protect; there must comea loftier respect for the sovereign human soul that seeks to know itself andthe world about it; that seeks a freedom for expansion and self-development;that will love and hate and labor in its own way, untrammeled alike by old andnew. Such souls aforetime have inspired and guided worlds, and if we be notwholly bewitched by our Rhinegold, they shall again. Herein the longing ofblack men must have respect: the rich and bitter depth of their experience, theunknown treasures of their inner life, the strange rendings of nature they haveseen, may give the world new points of view and make their loving, living, anddoing precious to all human hearts. And to themselves in these the days thattry their souls, the chance to soar in the dim blue air above the smoke is totheir finer spirits boon and guerdon for what they lose on earth by beingblack.
Two characteristic things must be noticed in regard to the church. First, itbecame almost entirely Baptist and Methodist in faith; secondly, as a socialinstitution it antedated by many decades the monogamic Negro home. From thevery circumstances of its beginning, the church was confined to the plantation,and consisted primarily of a series of disconnected units; although, later on,some freedom of movement was allowed, still this geographical limitation wasalways important and was one cause of the spread of the decentralized anddemocratic Baptist faith among the slaves. At the same time, the visible riteof baptism appealed strongly to their mystic temperament. To-day the BaptistChurch is still largest in membership among Negroes, and has a million and ahalf communicants. Next in popularity came the churches organized in connectionwith the white neighboring churches, chiefly Baptist and Methodist, with a fewEpiscopalian and others. The Methodists still form the second greatestdenomination, with nearly a million members. The faith of these two leadingdenominations was more suited to the slave church from the prominence they gaveto religious feeling and fervor. The Negro membership in other denominationshas always been small and relatively unimportant, although the Episcopaliansand Presbyterians are gaining among the more intelligent classes to-day, andthe Catholic Church is making headway in certain sections. After Emancipation,and still earlier in the North, the Negro churches largely severed suchaffiliations as they had had with the white churches, either by choice or bycompulsion. The Baptist churches became independent, but the Methodists werecompelled early to unite for purposes of episcopal government. This gave riseto the great African Methodist Church, the greatest Negro organization in theworld, to the Zion Church and the Colored Methodist, and to the blackconferences and churches in this and other denominations.
