Originally published in 1884, Black and White is a collection of essays and speeches by the pioneering African American journalist and civil rights activist Timothy Thomas Fortune. In these powerful writings, Fortune discusses the state of race relations in the South after the Civil War, the struggle for African American voting rights, and the need for economic justice and educational opportunity. A vital historical document and a stirring call to action, Black and White remains a landmark in African American literature.
