The book is a critical examination of the issue of race relations in the United States during the early 20th century.

Brown argues that the country has yet to fully address the issue of race and that the color line continues to be a divisive force in American society.Brown then goes on to propose a solution to the problem of race relations. He argues that the color line should be drawn based on individual merit and character, rather than on race. He suggests that education and economic opportunity should be made available to all races, regardless of skin color.Throughout the book, Brown uses examples from history and current events to illustrate his points. He also critiques the arguments of other writers and thinkers who have addressed the issue of race.Overall, The Crucial Race Question is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of a complex and important issue in American history.
