A clear, urgent look at the race question in American democracy and what it means for rights, policy, and citizenship.
This edition examines how seven million Black Americans fit into the nation’s promise of equal rights, and how state and national power shape that debate. It explains the long history, the shifting laws, and the stubborn conflicts that keep the issue alive, while offering a practical call for civic engagement and principled reforms.
Ideal for readers seeking a thoughtful, historically grounded perspective on the Negro question and its place in American democracy.

Excerpt from The Negro Question
The matter that is made the subject of these pages is not to-day the most prominent, but it is the gravest, in American affairs. It is one upon which, of late years, as we might say, much inattention has been carefully bestowed. It has become a dreaded question. We are not politically indolent. We are dealing courageously with many serious problems. We admit that no nation has yet so shaken wrong and oppression from its skires that it may safely and honorably sit down in a state of mercantile and æsthetical pre-occupation. And yet the matter that gives us daily the profoundest unrest goes daily by default.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex and contentious issue of race relations in the United States following the Civil War. The author examines the lingering effects of slavery and the social, political, and economic realities of the post-emancipation era, delving into the tensions between the North and South. The author argues that the South's persistent fear of black supremacy, rooted in a belief in the necessity of racial subjugation, underlies the discriminatory laws and practices faced by African Americans. The book delves into the complexities of social and civil equality, challenging the notion that the two can be easily separated, and exposes the hypocrisy inherent in the South's assertion of racial distinctions. The book's insights, penned at a pivotal moment in American history, offer a compelling and thought-provoking analysis of the enduring challenges of race relations, and provide a crucial context for understanding the historical roots of racial tensions in the United States.
