Jim Crow quotes
"In this perilous world, if a black boy wanted to live a halfway normal life and die a natural death he had to learn early the art of how to get along with white folks."
- Benjamin Mays, recalling his childhood in rural South Carolina
"My object is to teach the North, the young North, what it has never known—the awful suffering of the white man during the dreadful Reconstruction period. I believe that Almighty God anointed the white men of the South by their suffering during that time immediately after the Civil War to demonstrate to the world that the white man must and shall be supreme."
- Thomas Dixon, Jr., author of The Clansman, later became a movie called The Birth of a Nation
