OCTOBER · 19 10 Let me add, in conclusion, that during all the years I have known Bert Williams I have never heard him whine or cry about his color, or about any racial discrimination. He has gone right on, in season and out of season, doing his job, perfecting himself in his work, till he has reached the top round in his specialty. A few years ago, George Walker, his partner, lost his health and for a number of years has been unable to do any work on the stage. The finer side of Mr. Williams's life is shown by the fact that during all Mr. Walker's illness Mr. Williams has contributed re-gularly toward his support and has left nothing undone to make Mr. Walker comfortable and happy. Bert Williams is a tremendous asset of the Negro race. He is an asset because he has succeeded in actually doing something, and, because he has succeeded, the fact of his success helps the Negro many times more than he could help the Negro by merely contenting himself-to whine and complain about racial difficulties and racial discriminations. The fact is that the American people are ready to honor and to reward any man who does something that is worth while, no matter whether he is black or white, and Bert Williams's career is simply another illustration of that fact.
