One social question that receives relatively little attention from white progressives is race. Among African Americans themselves, however, the progressive era produces some significant challenges to existing racial norms. Black women engaged in welfare work form the National Organization of Colored Women in 1896, almost 15 years before the emergence of the NAACP. In 1915, as the South continues to tighten its control over the black population, Birth of a Nation is released. The movie stereotypes African-Americans and romanticizes the Ku Klux Klan. Historian Rayford Logan terms this the darkest time in African-American history, but it is also a period when black people come together because that is what is needed.
