Martin, A: Our Negro Population -

Résumé :
Excerpt from Our Negro Population: A Sociological Study of the Negroes of Kansas City, Missouri

Not only this humanitarian sentiment, but a sense of real danger Should arouse the community to a determined effort to remedy the conditions implied in this high death-rate, because the presence of a host of Negroes af?icted with tuberculosis working as servants, washerwomen, porters, etc., etc., is a constant menace to the health of all our citizens. Howeve'r revolting it may seem, it is nevertheless a fact that those diseases connected with the social evil which are sometimes called the Great Black Plague are also continually being communicated from one race to another, and there is no disease which breeds in poverty and filth that may not be communicated from the easy victims who live in want and squalor to the most prosperous people in the community.
