New York Letter on Race and Politics in the City
The piece surveys New York’s Black community, noting widespread poverty and limited access to charities, jobs, and civil rights. It argues high race prejudice persists despite formal equality, and describes social and economic barriers for African Americans in commerce, trades, and public life. It also discusses New York as a political and financial clearinghouse, with senators visiting and parties seeking influence, and touches on popular song publishing profits in the city.
