Présentation de l'éditeur

Eight years ago while a student doing post-graduate work in Harvard University, I received from Professor Albert Bushnell Hart the inspiration to investigate the feeling of the people of the North toward the negroes living amongst them. I wrote out at first a brief story of the treatment of the negroes in my home town in Ohio. At the suggestion of Professor Hart this article was submitted to The Independent and published. Soon it was copied in scores of newspapers throughout the country, giving evidence that the treatment of the negroes was of great interest to the American people. From the publication of the above article until the present time I have been a student of this particular phase of the negro question. For five years I have been carrying on my investigations under the supervision of Professor Claude H. Van Tyne, of the department of History in the University of Michigan. For the history of the feeling against the negro I have had recourse to many good libraries, the best of which I found to be the Ohio State Library at Columbus, Ohio, in which I spent many profitable weeks. For the knowledge of present day conditions I have depended upon an original or first-hand investigation, travelling about for months and interviewing many hundreds of white and colored men. The book is divided into two parts. Part I giving the history of the feeling toward the negro, and Part II showing present day conditions. Either part may be read first. The casual reader will probably find more interest in the book if he reads Part II first. In these pages there will be found, I hope, no defense of race prejudice or sentimental regard for the negroes.
