“Inter-Racial Group Formed Here”
Inter-racial group formed in Charlottesville. T. J. Randolph, George P. Inge, and others.
“After strong speeches by several colored men present . . . an organization was effected of a local Group Committee of both white and colored citizens . . . Dr. Kennie, a former Charlottesville boy, now of Tuskegee Institute spoke intelligently and feelingly on the movement, stating among other things, that while born and raised here, he had been 18 years at the Alabama Institution for the education of the colored race, as the opportunities at home were so meager, and the field so neglected.”

“The New Negro: What He Wants”
“Saturday’s issue of the Charlottesville Messenger, of which J. G. Shelton, colored, is editor and manager, contains an article on “The New Negro,” by George W. Buckner, of St. Louis. It concludes as follows:
‘The New Negro’ the country over is coming to see that his salvation is in his own hands. No longer can he leave it to Mr. So and So. Thank God the pussy-footing ‘Me-too-boss’ and hat in hand Negro is gone! The race is now to the thinkers, and Negroes everywhere know it! That is why we are termed New Negroes. So the New Negro of Charlottesville wants:
1. Teachers’ salaries based on service not on color.
2. A four year high school.
3. Representation in City Council.
4. ‘Jim Crow’ street cars abolished
5. Representation on School Board.
6. Better street facilities in Negro districts.
We are tax payers and law abiding citizens. We know our strength and will accept nothing short of justice!’”
Daily Progress, Wednesday February 16, 1921, page 1
https://search.lib.virginia.edu/sources/uva_library/items/uva-lib:2118657
The Charlottesville Messenger, edited and published by John G. Shelton, principal of the Albemarle Training School, was Charlottesville’s African American newspaper from 1910 until about 1927. On February 12, 1921, Shelton published an article written by George W. Buckner entitled “The New Negro.” The Daily Progress reprinted part of the article the following Wednesday, Feb. 16, 1921.
Although in 1921 George W. Buckner was the Executive Secretary of the St. Louis Urban League, he was born and raised in Charlottesville, the scion of an old Charlottesville family. His father Anthony T. Buckner, who had been the body servant of James Fife throughout the Civil War, became a successful grocer who owned and ran a grocery store at 904 West Main for almost forty years. George Buckner’s wife and daughter, Geneva Tonsler Buckner and Eileen Woods Buckner, are buried at Daughters of Zion Cemetery near George’s father Anthony Buckner and Geneva’s parents, Horace and Pocahontas Tonsler.
The publication of Buckner’s Charlottesville Messenger article in the Daily Progress spawned a series of letters, editorials, and articles, and caused a stir that lasted until Shelton ended the hysteria with a conciliatory editorial which was reprinted in the Daily Progress on Saturday March 5, 1921.
NOTE: Although the Charlottesville Messenger was published from 1910 to 1927, the only known extant issue is from August 20, 1921. It is held in Special Collections at the University of Virginia Library.

The destinies of America shall remain with the white race; they shall never be entrusted to the black, the brown, or the yellow, or to the unclean hands of hybrids and mongrels.” The Daily Progress ended the report on the meeting with the following remark: “Charlottesville Klan is not the largest in Virginia, but it numbers among its members many of our able and influential citizens, and it is here to stay. It is now and proposes to remain a power for good in this community, one whose influence will increase as it gradually finds its place in and duty to Charlottesville and vicinity.”

“Officers last night arrested a [illegible line] on a charge of trespassing on railroad property. The man declared in court this morning that he and the woman had been married more than 24 years and that they were in the city for a short time only.
“Justice Shackelford gave the couple one hour to leave the city and stated that in view of laws prohibiting marriage between races in Virginia, they would be severely dealt with if found here again.
“The defendant said he was of Swiss nationality and that the woman had been left some property here. The woman testified she was born near this city.”

We were afraid Mr. Glass was boasting a bit when he estimated that there was only a handful of Clansmen in this State. He is inclined to be optimistic at times. We hoped that this time, he might be right, but alas, he was not! Incurable sentimentalist that we are, we are always hoping that the spirit of tolerance is really so much a part of the tradition of Virginia and so ascendant in her borders, as to render impossible the thriving of the offsprings of prejudice and ignorance. But now and then, something increases our disillusionment.”

A. L. Bennett. This school began giving one year of high school instruction and was subsidized by the General Education Board about 15 years ago. Up until last year only two years of high school work was offered but the third year was added and this year the full four year high school course will be given. The school specializes in agriculture and Home Economics and has done an outstanding piece of work in the training of negro boys and girls.
“This will be the first four-year high school operated out of public funds west of Richmond and north of Lynchburg in this state.
“‘We feel,’ Supt. Bennett says, ‘that we must offer the right type of training for our colored boys and girls. In the past they have been forced to go away to northern cities for their high school education. With the aid of the General Education Board we hope to develop a school that will give worthy and deserving boys and girls an opportunity to secure a high school education at home.’”

“Registrar’s Action Upheld By Court”
“Action of Edward O. McCue, registrar, in refusing to register Mrs. C. W. Wetmore was upheld this morning by Judge J. W. Fishburne in the Circuit court.
“According to facts stated in a petition filed in the court, subsequent to the refusal of the registrar to register Mrs. Wetmore or her two colored servants. Mrs. Wetmore applied, in writing for registration on September 14, of this year. She was refused then on the grounds that she had not paid her capitation tax tor the year 1927. The petition stated that as Mrs. Wetmore had not moved here until July 1, 1927, she was not required to pay the tax for that year. Claude R. Yardly appeared for the petitioners.
“Mr. McCue, said this morning that Mrs. Wetmore had applied to him for registration as stated and that he had refused to register her and had notified her of the fact through her chauffeur who came to his office on September 18, to be registered. The chauffeur, according to Mr. McCue, said that the residence here had been established in 1926. He was also refused registration.
“In the court proceedings this morning Lemuel F. Smith, attorney for Commonwealth appeared in defense of the registrar. Mr. Smith entered a demurrer to the petition and was sustained by the court. Mr. Yardley amended his petition, whereupon Mr. Smith filed a plea of the statute of limitation saying that the petition had not been filed within ten days as is required by the statute. It was for this reason that Judge Fishburne denied the petition.”

“Georgetown Philanthropist Follows ‘Daddy’ Browning; Starts No Riot: Colored Citizen Finds a Good Deal More ‘Poor Folks’ Than He Expected, But ‘Good Time Is Had By All’”
“G. W. Fleming, prominent colored citizen of Georgetown, had been thinking a long while of something to do for his village by way of distributing cheer. A few days ago he made up his mind. It was when he read in the papers of how ‘Daddy’ Browning, in New York, distributed presents to the poor children, had a fine time and started a riot.
“That settled the matter in Fleming’s mind and he gave out notice that he would have a Christmas tree on which there would be present for every poor child and its parents in Georgetown on Christmas Day.
“‘They all came,’ said Fleming yesterday, ‘and there was heap more poor folks than I thought was in Georgetown. Most everybody was there and everybody got a present. They shoved and pushed right smart long towards the end, but there wan’t no riot nor nothin like what happened in New York. A good time was had by all,’ the Santa Claus of Georgetown added.”
