"Papers of the American Negro Academy" by Archibald Henry Grimké, is a compilation of writings from the early 1900s that digs into the African American experience. It looks at things like how races interact, the past of free Black people, and the important things African Americans have done for society. The book tries to give people a deep understanding of race and identity in America through different essays. It starts by looking closely at what racial segregation means for what's right and wrong in society, and the history of African Americans. Grimké points out that the bad effects of slavery don't just hurt those who were enslaved, but also the people who enslaved them, showing how both groups suffer because of the unfair system. This idea is a starting point to discuss bigger social effects of racial inequality and the need for everyone to be treated fairly.
