Sense of solidarity developed by Blacks
Social conditions in the United States are shifting toward racial consciousness and a Negro nationality, Albert E. Park of the University of Chicago told the American Sociological Society in Minneapolis. He criticized remarks by Senator Vardaman and Governor Blease, noting solidarity is stronger in the south where segregation is deeper and suggesting a bi racial tendency toward limited autonomy for Blacks. He added that relations between races vary, often rooted in slavery, and emphasized the rise of a common interest across colors and classes.
