What reading level is Slavery And the Race Problem in the South With Special Reference to the State O book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In no other way is it possible to produce the promised results. Legislative ingenuity must be backed up by administrative fraud — else the avowed purpose cannot be accomplished.
It must be admitted that the machinery of the pro- posed law could be easily perverted to fraudulent pur- poses. Before a citizen can register to vote, he is to be required to read and explain, or to be able to understand, any paragraph of the State Constitution. Now, we lawyers all know that there are some parts of our... Constitution that the Supreme Court judges themselves have never been able fully to explain — even granting that they understand them all. But who are to judge of this explanation or understanding? The registrars, of course. Suppose the most learned explanation could be given, who will vouch that the registrars themselves will understand it, or will accept it as satisfactory?
Of course, the officers of registration are to be white.
48 SLAVERY AND THE RACE PROBLEM IN THE SOUTH.
An easy paragraph for a white applicant; a difficult para- graph for a negro applicant ; the acceptance of any sort of an explanation from a white applicant; the rejection of any sort of an explanation from a negro applicant — there you have the hidden cards with which the game of cheat is to be played.
