Creating a model Negro slave became the challenge of those who occupy the most favored positions. This could only be done as a fiction that gave the appearance of reality. This fiction could be made real. First there would be distinctions made between equals. The human form chosen to make this distinction was the European. Europe became the model of distinction. It was so honored with the White Position (as in chess) as the original and most favored position. With the European model occupying the White Position, British offspring came to occupy the original position in British North America. This occurred while class war struggles were happening throughout Europe. As the struggles became more manifested, marks of distinctions were made between geographical regions, cultural formation, language development, and a social bias rendered as melanin based complexion. Containing the least amount of melanin, Northern Europeans were superior to Southern Europeans and all others. Why? Having less melanin within these Homo sapiens meant a greater social acceptance as being intellectually, and correspondingly socially superior. How was the superior intellect determined? Simply, by designating those occupiers of the most favoured position, with superior technology as demonstrated with their superior military weapons, superior intellectual ability acting in complementarity, made the European the superior race. In this instance, superiority means, one who controlled the waterways of the world, the economies to be established, the state formations to be organized, and slavery of three continents. Europeans were obviously the superior race. The lesser the degree of melanin, the greater the ability, greater the degree of melanin, the greater the degree of inferiority assigned, with negative distinctions made. The process was later named, eugenics or racism. The name chose to describe this inferior being was Negro. Negro, as a descriptive word, became famous as the name used to indicate people from the Dark Continent, land of the black, to be called Africa, for purposes of sale. A new object to be sold had to be given a name all potential buyers might pronounce without difficulty. For commerce, according to C.L.R. James, in his seminal work, The Black Jacobin, the name Negro was used to serve commercial purposes. One had to know the name of the object to be purchased. The idea of distinctions based on the positions won through kidnapping allowed the most favoured to give the black position a common name that all buyers would use to indicate the person wanted for enslavement. No matter the language one spoke, one could say, Negro, and everyone understood, “oh yes, slave. Or, the slave, oh yes, the Negro.” Negro and slave became a redundancy because in their simultaneity each identified the other. Negro, as in the case of the name prostitute was a name used for commercial purposes, to buy and to sell. Yet, it became the official, legal, and scientific name of people who were from the land of the black. People from Balid al Sudan, i.e., the land of the black, were immediately placed in the least favored position as Negroes. As occupiers of the least favored position, the Negro was assigned The Black Position (as in chess) by the most favored. Can you imagine a commercial name for a product to become the real name of humans who are sold into bondage? That product was Homo sapiens sold as cargo. This cargo was unique. It was human capital, sold as creative, technical and physical labor all at the same time. It would be a Negro assigned this contradiction from the position of a slave. The Negro was expected to play this role of an inferior being. Negro met all of the qualifications expected of one who occupies the least favored position in society, in the new world economy. Negro was a commodity. Large sums were borrowed to secure a Negro as slave. Millions were moved.

Large Print Edition, Printed in 18pt Font. MOST girls and boys, who are from twelve to fourteen years old can tell, if one should ask them, many interesting things about America, the country in which we live and most children whose fore-parents came from Europe or Asia have been taught to love those countries just because their kinfolk once lived there. Many little colored children can draw a map of Africa, tell some of its products and describe some of its people; I wonder how many have been taught to think of Africa with interest and affection, because our great, great grandparents came from that continent? Perhaps if we talk awhile about our Motherland and some of the notable things which have happened there, we shall all learn to love that wonderful country and be proud of it. In these talks, though sometimes the adjective "colored" will be used just as the word "white" is frequently made use of, we shall, as a rule speak of ourselves as "Negroes" and always begin the noun with a capital letter. It is true that the word Negro is considered by some a term of contempt and for that reason, many of us wince at it; but history tells us that when England had been conquered by the Normans, centuries ago, and the Norman barons were beating, starving and killing the natives, the name "Englishman" was considered an abusive term, and the greatest insult one Norman could offer another was to call him an "Englishman." You know that now all who claim England as home are justly proud of it, and no Englishman is ashamed of that name. If history repeats itself, as we are often told it does, the time will come when our whole race will feel it an honor to be called "Negroes." Let us each keep that hope before us and hasten the time by living so that those who know us best will respect us most; surely then those who follow will be proud of our memory and of our race-name.

The daughter of a successful paediatrician and a fashionable socialite, Margo Jefferson spent her childhood among Chicago's black elite. She calls this society 'Negroland': 'a small region of Negro America where residents were sheltered by a certain amount of privilege and plenty'. With privilege came expectation. Reckoning with the strictures and demands of Negroland at crucial historical moments - the civil rights movement, the dawn of feminism, the fallacy of post-racial America - Jefferson brilliantly charts the twists and turns of a life informed by psychological and moral contradictions.

A major document of African American participation in the struggles of the Depression, The Negro in Illinois was produced by a special division of the Illinois Writers' Project, one of President Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration programs. The Federal Writers' Project helped to sustain "New Negro" artists during the 1930s and gave them a newfound social consciousness that is reflected in their writing. Headed by Harlem Renaissance poet Arna Bontemps and white proletarian writer Jack Conroy, The Negro in Illinois employed major black writers living in Chicago during the 1930s, including Richard Wright, Margaret Walker, Katherine Dunham, Fenton Johnson, Frank Yerby, and Richard Durham. The authors chronicled the African American experience in Illinois from the beginnings of slavery to Lincoln's emancipation and the Great Migration, with individual chapters discussing various aspects of public and domestic life, recreation, politics, religion, literature, and performing arts. After the project was canceled in 1942, most of the writings went unpublished for more than half a century--until now. Working closely with archivist Michael Flug to select and organize the book, editor Brian Dolinar compiled The Negro in Illinois from papers at the Vivian G. Harsh Collection of Afro-American History and Literature at the Carter G. Woodson Library in Chicago. Dolinar provides an informative introduction and epilogue which explain the origins of the project and place it in the context of the Black Chicago Renaissance. Making available an invaluable perspective on African American life, this volume represents a publication of immense historical and literary importance.
