Show the answer
True
Why
True. Du Bois surveyed the Seventh Ward household by household and published in 1899, two decades before The Polish Peasant and a quarter-century before Burgess’s zones. Aldon Morris’s The Scholar Denied (2015) argues the omission from the canon reflected segregation rather than any judgement about the work.
