A picture of life in Harlem, New York. Ottley was born in New York, went to the University of Michigan and returned to his home town as a reporter for the New York Amsterdam Star News. In the present work, he describes life in Harlem and reflects on the opinions of its mostly black residents: How does it `feel' to be a Negro? What is the Negro's attitude toward his white employer, towards the white man's assumption of superiority.
