1912 Progress of a Race SLAVERY Booker T Washington Civil Rights Black History

“Progress of a Race,” revised and enlarged by John William Gibson, is a compelling historical record documenting the extraordinary advancement of African Americans from the hardships of slavery and ignorance to the freedom of citizenship, intelligence, and prosperity. Co-authored by Henry F. Kletzing and William Henry Crogman, this work sheds light on the struggle and triumph of African Americans during the era of slavery and their inspiring progress after gaining freedom.

This revised and enlarged edition features 106 photographs and illustrations and includes noteworthy features such as an introduction by the renowned Booker T. Washington and a special section on the club movement among African American women by Fannie Barrier Williams. The authors aim to inspire readers and encourage the ongoing progress of the African American community by offering these documented accounts of their achievements and potential. Despite later editions mysteriously excluding Henry F. Kletzing’s authorship, the book remains a pivotal document of African American resilience and progress.
