Excerpt from What the Negro Thinks: 'This volume aims to place on record some facts concern ing a phase of the Negro problem of which, up to this time, little has been known outside of the race; that is, what the Negro, himself, thinks of the experiences to which he is subjected because of his race and colour. The subject has lately excited a growing interest, especially among those who would approach the problem of the Negro's presence in America with sympathy and under standing.'
