Summary "The Negro Laborer: A Word to Him" by W. H. Councill is a discourse on the labor issues faced by African Americans, written during the late 19th century. This work, which falls into the category of social commentary and advice literature, reflects on the status and responsibilities of black laborers in the post-Civil War United States. The book primarily discusses the moral implications of labor, the significance of education, and the necessity for African Americans to improve their skills and societal standing in a changing economic landscape. In this book, Councill addresses several critical themes. He emphasizes the dignity of labor and the moral obligations of both laborers and employers. Councill argues that labor is divinely ordained and essential for the development and welfare of society. He also discusses the importance of education and skill development for the African American community, urging readers to cultivate their abilities in various fields to gain economic traction and respect. The author paints a realistic portrait of the challenges faced by black laborers while advocating for individual responsibility and community upliftment, encouraging the pursuit of ownership and self-improvement as pathways to success and stability.
