Written with sincere compassion for America

Although this work written from many years as both a observer of people from the vantage point of a Pullman Porter in the early 1900’s and a black man in search of addressing the injustices this country has inflicted on black people. J.A. Rogers careful analysis of the race relations and his recommendations for addressing these injustices fall on death ears to the barbaric white man as evidenced from 1917 to today.

Great book but...

As a Moorish American the negro or black is still used to represent us even after this book intelligently disputes any individuals being addressed as a color. Why do we need to go back to Africa when we never left at one time all continents were connected. The Louisiana Purchase came after the European so called discovered a new world. So the land had a name and occupants prior to any of these events.
