    Description of The Name “Negro,” Its Origin and Evil Use

    Originally published in 1960, this study focuses on the exploitive nature of the word “Negro.” Tracing its origins to the African slave trade, Moore shows how the label “Negro” was used to separate African descendents and to confirm their supposed inferiority.
