Excerpt from The American Missionary, Vol. 44: February, 1890 After I had declined with thanks to invest in this picture, I turned to the colored porter who was travelling in the white man's car in apparent social equality and casually remarked, Your people Should feel very grateful to Jefferson Davis for what he did for you. You ought to have that picture. With a surprise that he could not conceal, he intimated that he did not understand me. He didn't care for it, and didn't know what Jeff Davis had done for his people.
