What reading level is Americas Working People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" At the "heading" factory in the same town, where negroes had been employed for inside work (in spite of a warning the employer had received, signed by " The Jonesboro' Mob "), the employer told me that he hired negroes for ' ' the hardest work, ' ' and white men for " the work requiring the most skill. " This distinction was the most common one. Closely akin to it was another, due to the greater ability of the whites to take responsibility. In the furnaces at Birmingham, where the negroes out...numbered the whites about ten to one, all the foremen I saw were white. The reason for this, I was told by the super- intendent, was not merely the greater ability of the whites to take the responsibility of management, but the unwillingness of the negroes to be bossed by their own race. Thus the " fourth estate" — like our own third estate in the past — is being kept down by its preference for leadership from the class above. On the largest cotton plantation I visited I was glad to find that the foreman was a negro and had shown him- self a most successful manager — even when his em- ployer hired convict labour to supplement that of his regular tenants and hands.
