Twenty-Five Years In The Black Belt

""Twenty-Five Years In The Black Belt"" is a memoir written by William J. Edwards, detailing his experiences living and working in the American South during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Edwards was a white man who moved to Alabama in the 1890s to work as a teacher and later became a Methodist minister. He spent his career working with African American communities in the region, and his book provides a firsthand account of the racial tensions and injustices that characterized the era of Jim Crow segregation. Edwards writes about his efforts to improve educational opportunities for black students, his involvement in the civil rights movement, and his interactions with prominent figures such as Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois. The book offers a unique perspective on a pivotal period in American history and sheds light on the struggles and triumphs of African Americans in the South during this time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
