The Black Side : A Partial History of the Business, Religious, and Educational Side of the Negro in Atlanta, Ga (Classic Reprint) by E R Carter
Excerpt from The Black Side: A Partial History of the Business, Religious, and Educational Side of the Negro in Atlanta, Ga
This Book comes to the public from one who has the care of a large pastorate, busy studying and praying in order to find how he may best serve his flock; it comes to a people who are not all prepared to appreciate a work of this kind from one of their own race.
The Negro, it seems to the author, is not yet ready to encourage its men of a historical and literary turn of mind - not even those who are in advance of the common people. I have often thought if I was anything else but of the race I am, I might, perhaps, be something and be able to do and also make somebody else something, but as it is, I am doubtful. Yet I feel encouraged enough not to despair, but to push forward under God's help with hope to become something and to yet make my people something. It is universally conceded that ray people have accomplished what no other race in the world ever accomplished in so short a time, and notwithstanding I am not so flushed with what we have accomplished to forget the fact that we have not as yet more than got our foot on the bottom round of the ladder, whose top leads to all that a race must possess to be classed with the races who passed through centuries to lay their hands on the top round.
Generations must come and go before this can be done. It took five hundred years to make a Jew in the days of Abraham, eight hundred years to make a Roman in Cicero's time, and one thousand years to make an Englishman.
