Tuesday night of this week, the white people of Durham are to be given the opportunity of nearing negro spirituals sung only as members of the colored race can render them. The Harriet Tubman, colored, branch of the Y.M.C.A., is presenting the spirituals. A chorus of 60 voices, assisted by the State normal quartet will provide an evening of music will be entertaining and moving to those who have the good fortune to be present.
In addition, poems of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, one of the most talented members of his race, will be read. The concert is to be given in the auditorium of the Hillside Park School.
