BLACK AND WHITE LAND, LABOR, and POLITICS in the SOUTH By TIMOTHY THOMAS FORTUNE 1884 AUTHOR'S PREFACE In discussing the political and industrial problems of the South, I base my conclusions upon a personal knowledge of the condition of classes in the South, as well as upon the ample data furnished by writers who have pursued, in their way, the question before me. That the colored people of the country will yet achieve an honorable status in the national industries of thought and activity, I believe, and try to make plain.
