Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Phases of the Negro Question In the North we met the best class of negroes, well-dressed, as waiters and porters, where for twenty-five-cent tips they are very polite and obliging. They lack the initiative and the power to lead, but are imitative, and the majority of them can be taught to skillfully perform certain lines of work, and, under the direction of more intelligent white men, become valuable laborers. A few negroes in an environment of hustling western whites are far superior to those of a population of one-third negroes in the South. In the South we see them in groups of hundreds, ragged. Dirty. Ignorant, and having a pungent, sickening odor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
