The Afro-American is not a bestial race.

The white man’s victory soon became complete by fraud, violence, intimidation and murder.

What becomes a crime deserving capital punishment when the tables are turned is a matter of small moment when the negro woman is the accusing party.

The miscegenation laws of the South only operate against the legitimate union of the races; they leave the white man free to seduce all the colored girls he can, but it is death to the colored man who yields to the force and advances of a similar attraction in white women. White men lynch the offending Afro-American, not because he is a despoiler of virtue, but because he succumbs to the smiles of white women.

I came home every Friday afternoon, riding the six miles on the back of a big mule. I spent Saturday and Sunday washing and ironing and cooking for the children and went back to my country school on Sunday afternoon.

The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.

Somebody must show that the Afro-American race is more sinned against than sinning, and it seems to have fallen upon me to do so.
