Excerpt from History of the American Negro, Vol. 2: Georgia Edition, 1920 Volume 11 of the History of the American Negro Georgia Edition, is being issued three years after the publication of Volume 1. Georgia having the largest Negro population of any State in the Union, it was found that the story of her leaders could not adequately be told in a single volume. This second volume is merely a continuation of the first. The publishers are grateful for the hearty co-operation of the most intelligent men and women of the race, but realize that even vet there are many successful men and women the story of Whose lives might profit ably be recorded. Some of these have been approached, but have not seen their way clear to furnish the information nec essary for the preparation of an adequate biography.
