In 'Negro Migration during the War,' Emmett J. Scott presents an analytical commentary on the mass movement of African Americans from the rural Southern United States to the urban North during and immediately after World War I. Employing meticulous research and a deft understanding of the socio-historical landscape, Scott's narrative weaves together the strands of economic, social, and political factors that catalyzed this seismic demographic shift. The prose is punctuated by scholarly rigor, and the book situates itself in the context of early 20th-century American literature that explores themes of race, displacement, and the quest for equity within a rapidly industrializing nation. Emmett J. Scott, a pivotal figure in African American history, served as the secretary to the Tuskegee Institute's principal, Booker T. Washington, and as a special advisor on black affairs to President Woodrow Wilson during World War I. His proximity to key historical events and leaders enlightens the cogent assessments within his work. This book emerges from Scott's profound understanding of the racial dynamics of his time and his commitment to documenting the experiences of African Americans during a transformative period in American history. 'Negro Migration during the War' is an indispensable read for scholars of African American Studies, historians of the Great Migration, and readers interested in the complexities of race relations in the United States during the early 20th century. It offers a critical perspective on the agency of African Americans in shaping their own destinies within the confines of systemic societal changes. Scott's work is recommended for its academic contributions to understanding the Great Migration and for its enduring relevance in discussions about race, migration, and the American Dream.

Within the brief period of three years following the outbreak of the great war in Europe, more than four hundred thousand negroes suddenly moved north. In extent this movement is without parallel in American history, for it swept on thousands of the blacks from remote regions of the South, depopulated entire communities, drew upon the negro inhabitants of practically every city of the South, and spread from Florida to the western limits of Texas. In character it was not without precedent. In fact, it bears such a significant resemblance to the migration to Kansas in 1879 and the one to Arkansas and Texas in 1888 and 1889 that this of 1916-1917 may be regarded as the same movement with intervals of a number of years.

IT IS not hyperbole to say that Booker T. Washington was a great American. For twenty years before his death he had been the most useful, as well as the most distinguished, member of his race in the world, and one of the most useful, as well as one of the most distinguished, of American citizens of any race. Eminent though his services were to the people of his own color, the white men of our Republic were almost as much indebted to him, both directly and indirectly. They were indebted to him directly, because of the work he did on behalf of industrial education for the Negro, thus giving impetus to the work for the industrial education of the White Man, which is, at least, as necessary; and, moreover, every successful effort to turn the thoughts of the natural leaders of the Negro race into the fields of business endeavor, of agricultural effort, of every species of success in private life, is not only to their advantage, but to the advantage of the White Man, as tending to remove the friction and trouble that inevitably come throughout the South at this time in any Negro district where the Negroes turn for their advancement primarily to political life. The indirect indebtedness of the White Race to Booker T. Washington is due to the simple fact that here in America we are all in the end going up or down together; and therefore, in the long run, the man who makes a substantial contribution toward uplifting any part of the community has helped to uplift all of the community. Wherever in our land the Negro remains uneducated, and liable to criminal suggestion, it is absolutely certain that the whites will themselves tend to tread the paths of barbarism; and wherever we find the colored people as a whole engaged in successful work to better themselves, and respecting both themselves and others, there we shall also find the tone of the white community high. The patriotic white man with an interest in the welfare of this country is almost as heavily indebted to Booker T. Washington as the colored men themselves.
