Transcription
We have received “ Appointed,” on American novel by Sandra. We have perused the pages of this work with a steadily increasing interest. It deals with the North and the she row is a resident of Detroit,MI. A love story is skillfully interwoven, while race Prejudice as it exists in that section is admirable.
Not until Part II is reached does 1 fully aware of the purposes, for which the book was written. Then the scene is changed and the hero visits the southern section of the country where race Prejudice is shown in all of its malignity.
The Afro-American’s side of it is argued and fax produced to sustain that side of the contention.
An act of terrorism based upon actual occurrence tens much to increase the interest and places in a most favorable light The Plea of the black man.
This work will do much good and should find a ready cell among the people of the race in whose interests It Was Written.
It is to be hoped that its circulation in the north may be promoted to the end that H2 knowledge of our status may be secured, and continuous efforts made for the betterment of our condition.
It would be well to state that Sanda is the nom -de-plume for Mr. WH Stowers has written this work. He was at one time connected with the “ Detroit Plaindealer.”
The book can be obtained by addressing these gentlemen at 47 Griswold St., Detroit MI.
