What Should the Negro do?

"The Negro will do best where he holds the balance of power and can bargain for legislation in his interests," said Dr. Gregg. This happened primarily in such northern cities as New York and Cleveland. In the south the drive was slower. The whites gerrymandered so that all Negro voting power was concentrated in one body rather than influencing several councils or school boards. Where the big uproars flared (Little Rock, Arkansas) there was now comparative peace.
