Summary: "Here is a unique book by a unique individual which is at once an autobiography and a vivid account of the epoch ranging from pre-World War I days to the so-called Negro Revolution. In telling the story of his life, private and professional, George Schuyler gives us frank insights into the world of a Negro journalist who refuses to cater to the myths and prejudices of either side in the tangled area of race relations. A stern realist, he excoriates the civil-rights agitators who would divide our country and increase resentment and hatred. An avowed conservative, he dedicates himself to preserving America's blessings - "the right of mobility, the right of ownership, the privilege of privacy and development of personality, and the precious machinery of peaceful change." - From book jacket.
