A good citizen
This newspaper article mentions information from another newspaper about an African American farmer who was able to pay his rent and $1,900 he owed and still have money in the bank. The article in the Montgomery Advertiser suggests all that African Americans want is “exactly the same chance to earn an honest living and to enjoy the fruits of their labor.” The writer believes African Americans will stay in Alabama if white people “go at it the right way.”
