What the Negro can Have

There is a custom that sometimes prevents a
black man from having the privilege of being
invited once or twice a year to sit on a jury in
a hot, ill-ventilated court-room; but there is
no custom, thank God! that prevents him from
having the best strawberry farm, the best Jersey
cow dairy, or producing the best milk or butter
to be had in his county. Prejudice and the Negro.
