    Notes:
    An article from 1920, by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson, countered the standard justifications for U.S. occupation of Haiti. "The United States has failed in Haiti. It should get out as well and as quickly as it can and restore to the Haitian people their independence and sovereignty. The colored people of the United States should be interested in seeing that this is done, for Haiti is the one best chance that the Negro has in the world to prove that he is capable of the highest self-government. If Haiti should ultimately lose her independence, that one best chance will be lost." --The Author.

    Notes:
    Consists of papers written in 1896 by black students at Mico College, Jamaica, preparing to become elementary school teachers. They were communicated to Professor York Powell by Mr. Frank Cundall, Secretary and Librarian of the Institute of Jamaica. Their bearing on the transmission of folklore renders them specially worthy of attention. They preserve the beliefs of their West African ancestors, while at the same time adopted many of the most familiar of trivial of English superstitions, and have used their acquaintance with Christianity for magical purpposes.

    Notes:
    2 vols., Excerpt from Five Years' Residence in the West Indies, Vol. 1: I Should have dedicated this work to one of the kindest men and best Governors that the West Indies ever had ... but that his Excellency was afraid of my truthful revelations. He had seen, and heard read, parts of my MS., and had observed, "I am sorry to say that what you have written is but too true; yet at home they are not aware of it, though it deserves to be made known to all England; but, there, it will not be believed." Why not believed? - because Policy, not Truth, governs the world; and the West Indies in particular; so we have all but given up these magnificent islands to the barbarian, to lapse once more into a mere lair for the negro - not to the aboriginal inhabitant, but to a savage ten times worse, brought four thousand miles to repress the civilization which otherwise might, by a possibility, have flourished there. "The Ethiop cannot change his skin, nor the white man amalgamate with the black."
