...mean to say that a newspaper article should never use the worlds Negro and colored. They are words describing one aspect of a person's physical appearance and should be used whenever that aspect is significant. If, for instance, Mr. Halloway had been designated by the Society for the Advancement of Colored Peoples as its outstanding student of the year, it would have been appropriate to describe him as a Negro, just as in an article about a man who couldn't buy shoes at the Coop because of his abnormally large foot it would be appropriate to mention...
