Additional Details

Third edition (revised) of a message from white men who wish to keep the white race white, to black men who wish to keep the black race black, including the terms of an alliance between these groups against the whites who wish to mix with the Negroes and the negroes who wish to mix with the whites. Cox, an unabashed racist, was founder of the White America Society. This little book was the result of conversations with Marcus Garvey, and is dedicated to him, 'a Martyr for the Independence and integrity of the Negro race.' Garvey's 'alliance' with Cox and the Grand Dragon of the Klan cost him a great many of his followers.
