In Black and White

Our problem is not racial, but human and economic. . . . We hold the Negro racially responsible for conditions common to all races on his economic plane. The writings of reformer Lily Hardy Hammond (18591925) are filled with such forthright criticisms of southern white attitudes toward African Americansenough so that her stature as a southern progressive thinker would seem assured. Yet Hammond, who once stood at the intellectual center of the southern womens social gospel movement and was in her time the Souths most prolific female writer on the race question, has been marginalized.Hammond, Lily Hardy is the author of 'In Black and White', published 2008 under ISBN 9780820329826 and ISBN 0820329827.
