What reading level is The Negro And His Needs book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the sugar parishes they are all la- bourers and in the cotton belt they are generally tenants. In either case, the white man owns the land and the negro is dependent on that for sup- port, so that when he finds that we do not want him to vote, and insist on being allowed to run the politics of the community, he stays away from the polls. But he is not disfranchised by law in Louisiana, and that fact should be known to all people. " Reduced to the last analysis, all the laws that can be devis...ed are futile finally to prevent the negro 124 The Negro and His Needs from exercising the right of suffrage. He is be- coming educated, is acquiring property, and cannot be barred from the ballot by operation of law. But outside the law, the white man, after all, controls the situation. He is the employer of labour; com- mercially as well as industrially he is master of the situation. The " grandfather " clause, the " under- standing " clause, and similar devices of politicians could readily be upset in the courts.
