Above the fray.
One of the premier sociologists of the 20th century was the pioneer in the study of Black immigrants in America. Dr. Ira De A Reid, an African American, released his dissertation/book in 1939, it was titled THE NEGRO IMMIGRANT:His Background, Characteristics, and Social Adjustment. 1899-1937

Dr. Ira De Augustine Reid


A year before that, his article Negro Immigration to the United States was published in the sociology journal, Social Forces.

Social Forces
Vol. 16, No. 3 (Mar., 1938), pp. 411-417 (7 pages)

Dr. Reid covers the period of 1899-1937, but he makes mention of figures from earlier periods of emigration. This from 80 years ago, and from roughly 70 years after the Civil War. In that way it's sort of a snapshot of what had happened and prediction of what was to occur.
