It is my earnest desire to pursue this particular form of study far
enough to constitute a fair basis of induction as to the present
condition of the American Negro. If, for instance, Boston in the
East, Chicago and perhaps Kansas City in the West, and Atlanta, New
Orleans and Galveston in the Souths were studied in a similar way,
we should have a trustworthy picture of Negro city life. Add to
this an inquiry into similarly selected country districts, and
certainly our knowledge of the Negro would be greatly increased.
The department of history and economics of Atlanta University,
where I am now situated, is pursuing certain lines of inquiry in
this general direction. I hope that funds may be put at our
disposal for this larger and more complete scheme. Finally, let me
add that I trust that this study with all its errors and
shortcomings will at least serve to emphasize the fact that the
Negro problems are problems of human beings; ungrounded assumptions
or metaphysical subtleties. They present a field which the student
must enter seriously, and cultivate carefully and honestly. And
until he has prepared the ground by intelligent and discriminating
research, the labors of philanthropist and statesman must continue
to be, to a large extent, barren and unfruitful. ---- WE.B. DuBois
1899].
