The Negro Artisan

"The Negro Artisan" presents a detailed social study conducted under the auspices of Atlanta University. This report delves into the lives, skills, and challenges faced by African American artisans in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The work offers valuable insights into the economic and social conditions of black craftsmen and laborers during a period of significant racial and economic transition in the United States.

Through meticulous research and firsthand accounts, the study sheds light on the contributions of these artisans to various trades and industries, while also examining the barriers they encountered due to racial prejudice and discrimination. This historical document serves as an important resource for understanding the complexities of race, labor, and economic opportunity in American history.
