Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Progress of the Negro Race
The whites increase much more rapidly than our people in the South, but white persons of native parentage there only ih creased per cent the last decade and the colored people ia creased per cent. A much larger proportion of our children under one year of age die than among the whites. We have in the South men of voting age, one-half of whom can read and write. It is generally thought that our people never move about trying to better their condition. Since 1850 a mil lion and a half of our people have been migrating from one State to another, but almost altogether in the South, the largest por tion going further South.
