Excerpt from In Black and White: An Interpretation of Southern Life
Negroes who are not improving in their con ditions; but the figures of statistics are be yond contradicting the fact that the race as a whole is making forward strides away from gross illiteracy and dependent poverty. Shall the white people wish it to be so? It seems to me that they should wish it to be so. It seems to me that our material prosperity de pends upon the spread Oi intelligence and thrift among all the people, even the hum blest. It seems to me that our public health demands this, because filth and disease ex tend their evils high and low. And how dare we say that humanity and religion do not de mand it? If humanity and religion mean anything, they mean good will to man and the application of the eternal principles Of justice and righteousness now and always. It does not follow that any amount of good will and desire for righteous dealing does away with the fact of race. The Frenchman is not a German, nor the Jew a Gentile, and the difference of the Negro and the white is most Of all distinctly marked. The problem Of their living and working side by side in the same region is a problem, which no amount Of Optimism can deny.

Excerpt from In Black and White: An Interpretation of Southern Life
The problem of the South to-day is how to find voices and hearings for her best thoughts and sentiments. Especially is this true in regard to the relationship between the races. Public sentiment rules. It rules the attitude of individuals. It makes and unmakes the laws. It enforces or neglects the laws that are made. Public sentiment is mainly dependent upon the thoughts and sentiments that find expression in the constant utterances of pulpit, press, and political campaigns. On this question of race relationship the pulpit in the South is remark ably silent. The point is not raised whether or not the province of the pulpit is to discuss public and social problems. The fact is that the pulpit in the South is remarkably silent on the race question, even on the side of religion and religious duties. With few exceptions the direct contributions of the Southern clergy in establishing public sentiment on this question have amounted to little, and may almost be left out of count.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical and ongoing relationship between Black and White people in the Southern United States. The author argues that the region's struggles with racial justice stem from a lack of social consciousness and collective responsibility among its white population. The book traces the historical roots of racial inequality in the South, from slavery through Reconstruction to the present day, and examines the ways in which white Southerners have perpetuated a system of oppression that continues to disadvantage Black people. The author also discusses the role of the church and other institutions in shaping racial attitudes and behaviors. The book offers a unique perspective on one of the most pressing social issues of our time and will be of interest to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of race relations in America.
