It is also a compassionate story of two races, white and Negro, rooted in a common earth, straining toward a common happiness, yet in brutal conflict with each other. it faces courageously an explosive problem which we must ultimately solve not only in the South, but in all places where one race dominates another--wherever humiliation, cruelty, hatred and frustration degrade mankind, both oppressor and oppressed." #01814.
