	Jean Toomer's Washington and the Politics of Class (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		In the Washington of those days--and those days have gone now--there was a flowering of a natural but transient aristocracy, thrown up by the, for them, creative conditions of the post-war period.
		Toomer's characterization of Washington's fl elite as a "natural" aristocracy, possessing "personal refinement" and "inward culture and beauty," as well as his assertion that his peers from this group were "my kind," suggest that--as both experiencing youth and contemplative man--Toomer to a degree associated privilege with merit.
		The area around Seventh Street--the center of working-class Washington and a magnet for newly- migrated fls from the South--is not a part of the city that Toomer is likely to have frequented as a child or youth.
