"HALF A MAN" The Status of the Negro in New York By MARY WHITE OVINGTON With a Foreword by Dr. Franz Boas, of Columbia University "My father has always lived in the South" a young colored man once said to me, "and has attained success there; but when I ceased to be a boy he advised me to live in the North, where my manhood would be respected. He himself cannot continually endure his position of inferiority, and in the summer he comes North to be a man. No," correcting himself, "to be HALF A MAN. A Negro is wholly a man only in Europe." - From the Author's "Introduction." Miss Ovington's description of the status of the Negro in New York City is based on a most painstaking inquiry into his social and economic conditions, and brings out in the most forceful way the difficulties under which the race is laboring, even in the large cosmopolitan population of New York. If is a refutation of the claims that the negro has equal opportunity with the whites, and that his failure to advance more rapidly than he has, is due to innate inability. - From Dr. Boas' "Foreword." 12 mo, cloth.
