Part 2 Roll ,Jordan, Roll

Hello Again,

In the 1972 book, Roll, Jordan, Roll by Eugene D. Genovese, sensitive issues such as "The Black Work Ethic" are explored in an outward manner.  Genovese uses the argument put forth by Dr. W.E.B. Dubois that "The black slaves brought into common labor certain new spiritual values not yet fully realized."  "Working hard" is a necessary evil, according to Genovese's former slave sources.  The argument that work is a necessary evil is a loaded statement put forth by the author.  More factual information is needed on these historical statements before racial inferences can be drawn.

Thank You
