NEGRO AUTO RACES, p. 4

“Savannah Negro business men, always alert and to the fore in enterprise, are going to stage the first real automoble [Sic] race meet we have ever heard of. Entries from all over the South, in amateur ranks, are being invited and together with local drivers these will provide a big show of speed and thrills for the great crowd which will assemble at the exposition grounds on July Fourth. It is going to be a real show. There is no earthly reason why our own people should not engage seriously in every line of endeavor, enterprise and competition which other people engage in. It takes a well-rounded activity in all phases of sports, as well as in the more dignified entreprises to make a full-fledged normal people. Our people must provide autoists and aviators just as much so as that we have furnished the world some of history’s greatest sports in other lines.”
