'''A black diamond' was written because the author's attention was specially directed to the evil results which the great Sin of Slavery has left behind it in the United States of America...The author wishes to add that similar evils...will always arise wherever racial prejudice is allowed to spring up. We can be saved from race prejudice only by faithful practice of the great Christian doctrine of the Brotherhood of Man.''--Preface.
