The hindered hand : $b or, The reign of the repressionist

"The Hindered Hand: or, The Reign of the Repressionist" by Sutton E. Griggs is a story set in a time of social change and tough racial tensions. It shares the lives of African American people facing a divided society; a white woman risks everything to connect with a black porter on a train, leading to a surprising bond with a Negro girl named Foresta, all while dealing with the power of racial discrimination when a white man tries to push black passengers around. These encounters lead to an exploration of identity, solidarity, and the fight against society's limitations.
