Story
In his letter to President Wilson, W.E.B. DuBois points out that for the first time since the emancipation of slaves the government passes into the hands of the party which a half century before fought desperately to keep slaves as real estate in the eyes of the law. He states that a determination on the part of intelligent and decent Americans to see absolute equality of all citizens before the law, the civil rights of all citizens and absolute impartiality in the granting of the right to vote are the bedrock of a just solution of the rights of man in the USA.

Publisher's Summary
DuBois takes on the labor unions in this essay. He confesses that he had always inveighed against color discrimination by employers and by the rich. He knew at the same time in silence that it was practically impossible for any colored man or woman to become a boiler maker, book binder, electrical worker, a plumber or a printer or a textile worker, carpenter, or any of a dozen other important employments, without encountering the determined opposition of the united labor movement.
