Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Negro and the Sunny South: A Lecture
Have heard and read a great many lectures on the Negro and the Sunny South, but not one really worth reading. Some have told all the good about the Sunny South and forgot the bad. Some have told all the bad about the Sunny South, but forgot the good. Some have taken great pains to describe the beautiful scenery and the delightful climate. Some have told us all about the tropical fruits and the beautiful birds. Some have described the cotton and the cane - some the lovely ?owers.
Others have exaggerated the facts and multiplied the faults; while still others have suppressed the truth, and utterly failed to tell us anything really worth knowing, or of real value about the Sunny South.
They have characterized this great picture of nature as a little artist would daub the canvas and prostitute the painting of a genius. They have failed to tell us the actual character and real conditions of the real Sunny South. And so I concluded to do it myself thought I would tell you all about the Negro and some thing about the Sunny South.
