They Build And Produce

Where was the Negro at the

dawn of history? What did he

build and produce Black men

trudging through the hot desert

sands of Egypt built the mighty

Pyramids. Black men climbing up

a rugged mountain in Haiti built

the famed Citadel of Christophe.

Today their descendants build air

ports and bridges. Black men

worked with iron in early Africa

and on the railroads in early Am

erica. Today their descendants

study metallurgy and test jet

planes.

The cotton-picking tenant farm

er in the South and the unskilled

factory worker in the North are

as much producers as the banker.

the baker and the Commonwealth

Edison employe. Negroes now man

these jobs too.

Even the most ardent slaver

would not have denied that black

men are musically creative. And

after reading the almanac of sur

veyor Benjamin Banneker, Thoma*

Jefferson was convinced that at

least one black man could compre

hend mathematics. And by the

time engineer Clement Johnson’s

testimony clinched the case for

Ford, the counsel and the court

knew that Euclid, the “father of

geometry" could hardly confound

Johnson, known in Detroit as the

father of automation.”
