White and Black: The Outcome of a Visit to the United States

By George Campbell

Book Overview

""White And Black: The Outcome Of A Visit To The United States"" is a book written by George Campbell, which presents his observations and experiences of the racial divide in the United States during the mid-20th century. Campbell, a British journalist, traveled to America in the 1950s and was struck by the stark contrast between the lives of white and black Americans. He provides a detailed account of the Jim Crow laws that were in place at the time, which enforced segregation and discrimination against black people in many areas of life, including education, employment, and housing. Campbell also describes the civil rights movement that was beginning to gain momentum, and the efforts of activists such as Martin Luther King Jr. to challenge the status quo and fight for equal rights for all. Through his writing, Campbell attempts to shed light on the realities of racism in America and encourages readers to confront and address this issue. ""White And Black"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that provides a valuable perspective on the history of race relations in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
