ABSTRACT

In Virginia, where colored people are not prohibited from riding in a ftrstclass car, I have always noticed that colored passengers when not well dressed, voluntarily take the second class car.

I have written thus plainly because I love the South, had rather live here than in the North, and expect to remain here. My faith is that the influences which are going to permanently right such wrongs are going to come from within the South and from the Southern people. National legislation and other outside attempts fail.
