The Negro Family - The Case for National Action

Two hundred years ago, in 1765, nine assembled colonies first joined together to demand freedom from arbitrary power. For the first century we struggled to hold together the first continental union of democracy in the history of man. One hundred years ago, in 1865, following a terrible test of blood and fire, the compact of union was finally sealed. For a second century we labored to establish a unity of purpose and interest among the many groups which make up the American community. That struggle has often brought pain and violence. It is not yet over. Table of ContentsChapter I. The Negro American Revolution. Chapter II. The Negro American Family. Chapter III. The Roots of the Problem. Chapter IV. The Tangle of Pathology.
