Excerpt from Native African Races and Culture

We are glad to add to the Occasional Papers published by the Trustees of the John F. Slater Fund this brief treatment of a large and difficult subject. It seems to me that Dr. Johnson has handled the matter not only clearly and concisely but very interestingly.

In spite of the increasing number of publications the general ignorance of most of us in America in regard to Africa is as dense and dark as the great Continent was once supposed to be. I know how great was my ignorance of the history and present conditions of the Negro Peoples of Africa until a visit and consequent readings brought me some knowledge and many surprises. This publication is issued in the hope that it will help to increase or correct our knowledge and widen our view of a story which may be said to branch over to America.
