"A Report Concerning the Colored Women of the South" by Hobson and Hopkins is a statistical and observational report written in the late 19th century. This book reviews the condition of African American women in the Southern United States, focusing on educational advancements, social conditions, and moral challenges they face. The authors conducted a thorough investigation through a tour of five central Southern states, reflecting the importance of education and community upliftment for the uplift of the entire Black population. The report presents a mixed yet optimistic picture of the lives of colored women in the South. It highlights the significant strides made in educational attainment, with many women demonstrating intelligence and self-respect thanks to the influence of industrial and educational schools established by northern philanthropy. However, the authors acknowledge the persistent moral and social challenges rooted in a legacy of slavery that continues to affect these women's lives. They advocate for more grassroots initiatives aimed at improving the moral standards of the community, emphasizing the need for educated women to act as role models and leaders in their families and neighborhoods. The authors ultimately call for support from northern institutions to help bolster these educational programs, viewing them as critical to the long-term prosperity of African Americans in the South.
