Excerpt from The African Abroad, or His Evolution in Western Civilization, Tracing His Development Under Caucasian Milieu, Vol. 1 This book had its origin in the fact that in the fall of 1902 and the following winter I was invited to address the Boston Literary; also the Bethel Literary, the Second Baptist Lyceum, the Shiloh Baptist Lyceum and the American Negro Academy of Washington, D. C.; upon "The Light of Sociology upon Various Phases and Aspects of the Negro Question." In June, 1904, I began to collaborate my material and lecture upon "Beacon Lights of Negro History." In November, I lectured upon the same theme in Charleston, S. C. The News and Courier gave an account of nearly two columns to the lecture and Lawyer A. C. Twine wrote a glowing account of it in the Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. The lecture was favorably received in other sections of the state. On the evening of December 25, 1905, while I was preparing an address to be delivered at the Emancipation Celebration at the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Orangeburg, S. C., I decided to put the material, which I had been accumulating for over three years, into the form of a "History of the Evolution of the Colored Race under Caucasian Milieu." In investigating the subject I traveled from Maine to Florida, from Washington, D. C., to Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana. The expense of collecting data and preparing manuscript was considerable. Handicapped once by a severe and prolonged illness and by the expense of changing publishers and preparing and sending out a second prospectus, it would have been absolutely impossible for me to have brought to a consummation such a gigantic task, had not a few noble-hearted Anglo-Saxons and four public-spirited colored men rallied to my aid and support.
