Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Appeal to Conscience America's Code of Caste: A Disgrace to Democracy
The chapter on Lawlessness is a just though spirited protest against lynching, an offence which does the white race ten times as much harm as the negroes, for it brutalizes the law making and law-applying section of the population. It thrusts down the white farmer or townsman or working man to a level below that of the worst negro criminal, because the lyncher glories in his crime. The chapter on Segregation exposes the brutality and uselessness of Jim Crow Laws and might go further by pointing out that there is never any segregation of me gro purchasers who have the money to buy from white salesmen and store keepers.
