But times and the world have changed. When the Nazis unleashed their terror upon Europe, the British flag waved over a disproportionate portion of the world . In Asia, only Japan and China were free of white dominance ; and only tiny, impotent Liberia held high the banner of political independence in Africa, proud Ethiopia having been ravaged and betrayed into submission to fascist Italy . Americans of African descent wanted only to be accepted as Americans, having no vision at all of the imminent break-up of the great British Empire and the rise to political power of such nation-states as India, Indonesia and Egypt . An independent Africa remained only a dream in the hearts of a vanguard of her sons in America . But the moment had now come, and change was swift . The Third World emerged and flexed its young muscles, and a new image of modern man crowded old white-faced Hamlet on the international stage of politics and power . In the United States, which inherited the mantle of Western leadership dropped by the British, the sons of Africa understood, at last, that it was not Allah or Buddha or Krishna who had inflicted upon them "the mark of Cain" ; in rejecting the notion that they should forever remain demeaned, they also rejected the god who had ordained it so . When NEGRO DIGEST was revived in 1961 after a hiatus of 10 years, it resumed the old name-but it was far from being the same old magazine . The new magazine sought to reflect the new black spirit wafting gingerly across the land and to provide it room in which to expand and mature . It was no longer a "digest," for it actually digested no material and only occasionally published reprints . The emphasis was on original ideas, fresh talent, untried directions . The new black spirit fomented a full-fledged revolt, and Black Consciousness flashed like lightning into every corner of America . Many of those who read NEGRO DIGEST and approved it wondered why, in the new age, it did not make the extra step which would have brought it into full harmony with the times. "Change the name," they urged . The editors of NEGRO DIGEST think that the moment has come to do the bidding of the magazine's friends and, at the same time, to reflect the actual character of the publication . Beginning with the May issue, NEGRO DIGEST Will have a new name, in keeping with its character and the times : The new name : ~LACI~ WORLD HOYT W. FULLER Managing Editor 98 Marcb 1970 NEGRO DIGEST
