COLORED PRESS CONVENTION. The Colored Press Convention which convened in Louisville on Wednesday last, was an event of no small import. Many of the news papers published by colored men were not represented in the conven tion owing to unavoidable circum stances, among them .The Leader, Enough howver were present to make the convention an eminent success. The proceedings of the convention were characterized by a dignity and seriousness which do credit, not only to the profession of journalism, but to the Negro race. The courteous honorable treatment accorded the colored editors by the press, and peo ple of Louisville is as gratifying as it was cordial. In large measure the success of the convention was due to the untiring zeal and energy of Mr. John Quincy Adams, editor of The Louisville Bulletin, who was chairman of the committee on ar rangements. At this writing we are not informed as to the time and place of holding the next convention. A full account of the proceedings will ap pear in our next issue. The Negro press is making rapid strides, it is doing a world of good in the eleva tion of the Negro. Truly is, It “the palladium of our best interest,” and the colored man who fails to aid in the support and circulation of a good colored newspaper is recreant not only to his own best interest but to the best interest of the race.
