To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It can scarcely be reckoned a pilgrimage as we are used to speak of other great human movements onward and up ward. Stage by stage from tribal slavery in Africa, to com mercial bondage in the slave-ships, to the feudal serfdom of the South, and then to sudden emancipation, and then to a dazzling day of citizenship in a republic, the negro came, always thrust on by dramatic forces he did not originate and over which he had no control. One may question if the three hundred years of such swift and... unanticipated changes, and so marked by unnatural press ures, does not place the negro s progress outside the category of evolution entirely. Environment is the word that explains what we see, and providence is the only word that indicates the inscrutable forces at work back of it all. To some sympathetic students the fact that the negro s im provement has come to him so largely without his own initiative has not been regarded as a hopeful feature of his history. This is, however, to be said. Although no driving impulse of dis content or aspiration from within sent him upon his remark able adventure of progress, yet at each pause of the advance, the negro race has shown an inward capacity for grasping the gain tenaciously.
