Summary: Reviews the status of African Americans through research on Africa, the West Indies, and the Colonies, and how those different settings have affected the economic and social capabilities of the African people. It provides a history of cooperation among African Americans, describing its beginnings in the African church and its further progress as seen in the development of the Underground Railroad. Du Bois moves on to discuss the roles of emancipation, the Freedmen's Bureau, and migration. There is considerable detail and statistics about various types of economic cooperation including churches, schools, beneficial and insurance societies, secret societies, cooperative benevolence, banks, and cooperative business.
