“…for generations; and yet this has been far from the case” (Du Bois 1901b:648). For Du Bois, this somewhat surprising positive sign “is of the greatest sociological interest” as he continued to accurately document the connections between social policy, land ownership patterns, and continued economic inequality in southern rural communities (p. 648), yet another topic shared with contemporary rural sociology (see Dyer and Bailey 2008; Gilbert, Sharp, et al 2002; Gilbert, Wood, and Sharp 2002; Green, Green, and Kleiner 2011; Hargis 1998, 2002; Hinson and Robinson 2008; Schweninger 1990; Wood 2006; Wood and Gilbert 2000; Wood and Ragar 2012; Zabawa, Siaway, and Baharanyi 1990).…”

“…Du Bois noted that Georgia is important for the study of Black communities as it “holds a mass of peculiarly self-reliant Black folk” and because Georgia has collected “detailed record of Negro landholding, extending over a quarter of a century” (p. 648). In fact, no other state has such detailed records on land ownership by race (see Hargis 1998, 2002; Schweninger 1990). Land and property ownership was critical to the development of rural Black communities, and recognizing this fact, Du Bois accumulated data to speak to the potential for social mobilization among rural Black families.…”
