The New South

CHAPTER VII
15/43

No negro pastor preaches to a white congregation, and no negro teaches in a school for whites.

Negro lawyers, dentists, and doctors are practically never employed by whites.

In the past the number engaged in these professions has been negligible, and that any increase in the total of well trained negro professional men will make an immediate change in the attitude of whites is unlikely.

The relation of lawyer and client or physician and patient presumes a certain intimacy and subordination to greater wisdom which the white man is not willing to acknowledge where a negro is involved.

Negro women, trained or partially trained, are employed as nurses, however, in increasing numbers.
In 1865, the great mass of negroes was wholly illiterate.
