Black Like Me
- This began as a scientific research study of the Negro in the South, with careful compilation of data for analysis.†
analysis = the process or result of a detailed examination of something
- In every city I was brought in to study (and often I returned again and again) I would live in the black ghetto with black families, and I would come out and give the most detailed analysis to the whole city and to community leaders, warning them that black resentments and frustrations were explosive and that one day some little insignificant event would occur and produce an explosion that would astound the whole community.†
