Abstract
Abstarct J. A. Rogers, international correspondent of the Negro press and research student in African and European history of Negroes, returned to the United States last Saturday aboard the SS Albert Ballin of the Hamburg American line after spending four years in the best libraries of Europe; and traveling throughout Europe and North Africa seeking facts on early Negro history. Mr. Rogers was met at the pier by George Schuyler, author, lecturer, journalist, and organizer of the Young Negroes Co-operative League. Mr. Rogers returned with much material gathered during his long stay abroad, and plans a lecture tour of the United States to last seven months, during which he will discuss the startling information he found in his research work. He brought back 100 biographies of great Negroes, such as kings, statesmen, generals, philosophers, scientists, poets, etc; 150 photos of these notables of history; 24 photos of Negro kings of Egypt which he secured from museums in Cairo, and several prints of gods and goddesses of Egypt showing that they were unmistakably Negroes. —Floyd J.
