the original typed copy of a massive, unpublished bibliography, by the premier bibliographer and author of "The Bibliography of the Negro in Africa and America." Monroe Work, sociologist (1866-1945) the son of former slaves, earned his MA from the University of Chicago in 1903. Work believed firmly that prejudice was based in ignorance. "I dedicated my life to gathering information, the compiling of exact knowledge concerning the Negro," he said in a 1932 interview. Although a member of the Niagara Movement, Work accepted a position at Tuskegee Institute as a record keeper in1908. There he began compiling material and published his "Bibliography of the Negro in Africa and America in 1924." The present manuscript was an attempt to expand on that earlier work, but unfortunately Work passed away before it could be published. It is divided into 3 parts with a Bibliography of Bibliographies Relating to Peoples of Africa at the end.
