The Color Line: Legacy for the Twenty-First Century

John Hope Franklin

The problem of the 20th century will be the problem of the colour line - the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men, wrote author and civil rights leader W.E.D. Du Bois in 1903. As the 20th century comes to a close, one of America's most distinguished historians takes an unflinching look at race relations in America today. Distilling more than two centuries of history, John Hope Franklin reflects on the most tragic and persistent social problem in the American nation's history - the colour line - as it becomes the legacy for the next century.
