Excerpt from The Negro in the District of Columbia To determine the position which the negroes of the United States are to occupy toward the civilization of this country is a problem which should engage the sober, serious efforts of all those who desire good government and the stability of society. The solution of that problem is not to be had in ignoring facts about the race, or in hopes that the negroes will return to the homes of their forefathers. They have been in this country for two centuries and a half, they have been in¿uenced more or less by their sur roundings, they have formed attachments to the soil which may not easily be eradicated, and, as modem migration is not toward the East, they are likely to remain in the United States. They will either degenerate or advance toward the goal for which the white race is striving, but whatever their tendency, its developments and its results can not fail to affect the white race, upon whom will largely depend the outcome.
