Scarce anthology on Black-White relations in a Quaker periodical that often dealt with racial issues and published Black writers (including Zora Neale Hurston) beyond its principal focus on world peace. Five of the eleven essays were written by African-Americans, notably W. E. B. DuBois, writing on the taboo subject of "Social Equality and Racial Intermarriage". Other contributions by novelist and poet Jessie Fauset, literary editor of DuBois' Crisis, the NAACP periodical during the Harlem Renaissance; Pennsylvania educator Leslie Pinckney Hill; Charles S. Johnson, later the first Black President of Fisk University, and National Urban League founder Eugene Kinckle Jones. The white writers, mostly educators and social reformers, generally of the Quaker faith, dealt with the underlying problem of racial prejudice and the myth of racial inferiority.
