The Negro

The Negro is a classic African American history text by the great African American writer, W.E.B. Du Bois. The time has not yet come for a complete history of the African peoples. Archeological research in Africa has just begun, and many sources of information in Arabian, Portuguese, and other tongues are not fully at our command; and, too, it must frankly be confessed, racial prejudice against darker peoples is still too strong in so-called civilized centers for judicial appraisement of the peoples of Africa.
