Handicapped Among the Free.

First edition. Hardcover, dark grey cloth with white and gilt lettering and cotton-themed decoration, 7-5/8 tall, 376 pp. Minor soiling to half-title page and CR.As segregation tightened and racial oppression escalated across the United States, some leaders of the African American community, often called the talented tenth, began to reject Booker T. Washingtons conciliatory approach. W. E. B. Du Bois and other black leaders channeled their activism by founding the Niagara Movement in 1905. (Library of Congress.) This novel, published at the beginning of this activism, records the experiences of those whom the writer, during several long sojourns in the black belt, has learned to call her friends. Many of the books dealing with Blacks in this era feature cotton as a botanical design element.
