This issue also prints the recurring articles "How I Beat Jim Crow" and "If I Were an Negro," the former by Charles Clinton Spaulding (the longtime President of North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, at the time of publication the largest Black-owned business in America) and the latter by activist and author of *Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer* Saul Alinsky and further titled "Beware the Liberals." This issue also with a four-page insert bound in advertising the NEW *Negro Digest* in full color, as well as the articles "Who is a Negro? The Inside Story of Two Million Negroes Who Passed for White" by Herbert Asbury (condensed from *Collier's*); "A Southerner Looks at the South" by Hodding Carter (condensed from *The New York Times*); "Acid Test of America" by Clare Booth Luce (condensed from *Today's Woman*); "The Harlem Nobody Knows" by Bucklin Moon (condensed from *Glamour*); and the recurring article "My Favorite War Hero," this month penned by Herbert M.
