Publisher's Synopsis
Originally published in 1902, this book proposes a solution to the 'race problem' through moral and economic education of African Americans. Hall argues that teaching moral virtues such as frugality and temperance, as well as practical skills such as carpentry, would help elevate the status of black Americans and bring them into greater economic and social parity with whites. A fascinating look at turn-of-the-century ideas about race relations and social progress.
