Book excerpt: The growing importance of the skilled labor class in Virginia as well as in the entire South is sufficient justification for this essay on The Virginia Negro Artisan and Tradesman. This phase of the Negro problem seems destined to assume greater proportions as Virginia and the Southern States take an inevitably more active part in the future manufacturing activities of the nation. Because of the the lack of more adequate information on this subject there is widespread misunderstanding regarding the progress and the condition of the Negro in the field of the skilled trades of Virginia and the South. -- Preface.
