The author aims to address the plight of colored people in the United States, focusing on their socio-political conditions, rights, and the implications of emigration. This work seeks to enlighten both the general public and the colored community about their status and potential for upliftment within society. At the start of the book, the author provides a preface explaining the motivations behind their writing, emphasizing a need to discuss the realities faced by colored people in America. The opening chapters compare the conditions of various oppressed classes in Europe to those of colored people in the U.S., asserting that, despite being born into citizenship, they face systemic social, civil, and political disenfranchisement. The author sets the tone for a critical examination of society's misconceptions regarding colored people's capabilities and aspirations, aiming to inspire self-awareness and collective action towards their elevation and empowerment.
