Excerpt from Following the Color Line: An Account of Negro Citizenship in the American Democracy
My purpose in writing this book has been to make a clear statement Of the exact present conditions and relationships of the Negro in American life. I am not vain enough to imagine that I have seen all the truth, nor that I have always placed the proper emphasis upon the facts that I here present. Every investigator necessarily has his personal equation or point of view. The best he can do is to set down the truth as he sees it, without bating a jot or adding a tittle, and this I have done.
I have endeavoured to see every problem, not as a Northerner, nor as a Southerner, but as an American. And Ihave looked at the Negro, not merely as a menial, as he is commonly re garded in the South, nor as a curiosity, as he is Often seen in the North, but as a plain human being, animated with his own hopes, depressed by his own fears, meeting his own problems with failure or success.
I have accepted no statement of fact, however generally made, until I was fully persuaded from my own personal investigation that what I heard was really a fact and not a rumour.

This book offers a profound exploration of race relations in the United States during the early 20th century, with a particular focus on the experiences of African Americans in the South. The author delves into the complex dynamics between white and Black communities, examining the social, economic, and political factors that shaped their interactions. Through vivid firsthand accounts and meticulous research, the book sheds light on the challenges and triumphs of African Americans as they navigated a society marked by segregation, discrimination, and violence. The author's insightful analysis extends beyond the South, exploring the experiences of African Americans in Northern cities and their ongoing struggle for equality and justice nationwide.
