Light Ahead for the Negroes - E[dward] A[ustin] Johnson (1860-1944) (Grafton Press, 1904)
Set in 2006 in an improved but still segregated South, which is presented as a much better situation for African-Americans. Very paternalistic attitudes by whites, so much so that there may be an element of satire. Unions opened to Negroes, and, in separate meetings, to women; the unions train the men, and Schools of Domestic Science were opened to professionally train the women. The first part of the work is a description of the situation of the black at the beginning of the twentieth century (21-98). The economy has been partially nationalized. Blacks and whites “naturally” associate with their own people. Southern cotton plantations bought, broken up, and re-sold to African-Americans at low prices at which time they are given assistance and training. Technologically advanced with electric cars that run on dedicated elevated tracks. In Adam vs. Ape-Man and Ethiopia. Illus. New York: Ptd. by J. J. Little and Ives Co., 1931, he argues that American Negroes are descended from Ethiopians, which were the first civilization in Africa.

Anti-Bellamy satire. The sophisticated technology is not nearly as sophisticated as Bellamy suggested; for example, the pneumatic delivery tubes are all above ground and pedestrians must dodge under and over them. The hours of work for so-called arduous tasks, which generally are not difficult, are so low that most work cannot get done. In fact, nothing that Bellamy described actually worked the way it was supposed to. But it was all a bad dream and West woke up back in the Boston of the nineteenth century.

Communities exist to benefit their members rather than the reverse, which was the nineteenth century norm. The future is concerned with the art of living rather than commerce. Stress on beauty.
