Half A Man: The Status Of The Negro In New York is a non-fiction book written by Mary White Ovington, an American suffragist, abolitionist, and co-founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The book was first published in 1911 and focuses on the social, economic, and political conditions of African Americans living in New York City during the early 20th century.Through a series of essays and interviews with African American residents of New York, Ovington sheds light on the discrimination, segregation, and prejudice faced by black individuals in the city. She explores the impact of Jim Crow laws, racial violence, and economic inequalities on the lives of African Americans, as well as the efforts of black leaders and activists to fight for their rights and improve their conditions.Half A Man provides a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of the experiences of African Americans in New York, highlighting both the challenges they faced and the resilience and strength of their communities. Ovington's work remains an important contribution to the study of race and racism in America, and a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for social justice and equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Jason Kelly Miller HISTORY IS NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT Words, phrases, and even ideas that were commonplace and accepted a hundred years ago are considered inappropriate today - but if we alter the language of the past, we alter the truth. THE UPWARD PATH contains some of those no-longer-proper words and ideas, but this is what was considered the right kind of reading for African-American children and students in 1920; to pretend it was different would rob us of the chance to understand the past a little bit better. Between these covers are some of the best writing by, for, and about African-American authors in the 19th and early 20th Centuries.

In 1903, when white settlement worker Mary White Ovington was thirty-eight years old, she had no sense that there was a "racial problem" in the United States. Six years later, she, W. E. B. Du Bois, and fifty others founded the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Their goals in 1909 - ending racial discrimination and segregation and achieving full civil and legal rights - included the power of the vote for black Americans. Eighty-five years later, the NAACP remains the largest and most influential civil rights organization in the country, still striving to uphold the goals of its founders. Hailed as a "fighting saint" by NAACP Executive Secretary Walter White, Ovington dared to do this work in a period intolerant of black-white relations. She often endured notoriety, as when lurid newspaper headlines followed a biracial dinner hosted by the Cosmopolitan Club in 1908 and singled her out for persecution. For Ovington, the lifelong activist, the commonality of human ideas was a source of inspiration. Her profound sense of social justice demanded determination and persistence. Once Ovington committed herself to "Negro work", she worked tirelessly "until the two sides came together". The Baltimore Afro-American newspaper first published Ovington's reminiscences in 1932 and 1933. Now, for the first time, they are available in book form - a candid memoir by a courageous woman who defied the social restrictions placed on women of her generation, race, and class, and undertook civil rights work in a period intolerant of black-white relations. Throughout the years of struggle, Ovington never lost her faith in the possibility of transforming relations between blacks andwhites, believing that "the miracle is always here if someone will call it forth".
