- Monroe_Work abstract "Monroe Nathan Work (1866–1945), was a sociologist who founded the Department of Records and Research at the Tuskegee Institute in 1908 and expanded its national reputation. With much of his career he strove to advance credibility to the anti-lynching campaigns and the Negro Health Week movement. His chief works include the Negro Year Book and A Bibliography of the Negro in Africa and America -- a bibliography of 17,000 references on African Americans. These resources were the largest of their kind in an era when scholarship by and about black Americans was highly inaccessible, and overlooked or ignored by most academics in the US.Work was born to former slaves in Iredell County, North Carolina and moved in 1867 to Cairo, Illinois where his father pursued farming. As a person who was able to hear about the many injustices his people suffered, he strove towards finding ways to make himself useful in the continued struggle for equality; the turn of the century was a period when the number of Jim Crow laws were increasing and race relations were deteriorating in periodic violence. At the age of 23 Work decided to pursue a higher education and entered a biracial high school in Arkansas City, Kansas. He managed to graduate third in his class, and after a stint as a preacher and training at the Chicago Theological Seminary he decided to become a sociologist. Transferring to the University of Chicago, Work found himself in the midst of the same social problems for African Americans that he had decided to fight. He spent time in Chicago researching the correlation of the highest crime rates among blacks to the large proportion living in slums. His paper on this would become the first article published within the American Journal of Sociology by an African American. By the time he was done with school in Chicago he had a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy and a Master of Arts degree in Sociology.After graduating in 1903 he moved to Savannah, Georgia to become a professor at Georgia State Industrial College. He also attended the July 1905 conference of the Niagara Movement at the invitation of W. E. B. Du Bois.In 1908 he accepted a position from Booker T. Washington to found the Department of Records and Research at the Tuskegee Institute. While here he would begin the Negro Year Book, a yearly publication which compiled facts, sociological data, and directories of distinguished people surrounding the current state of black progress in the US since emancipation. The Negro Year Book also for a time incorporated his periodic summation of lynching reports, which were so thoroughly compiled that the Tuskegee Institute became one of the most quoted and undisputed sources on this form of racial violence.Monroe Work received the Harmon Award in Education in 1928 for his research and involvement in the Negro Year Book and his work on A Bibliography of the Negro in Africa and America.".
