Description
"To the Editor of the Afro-American Ledger:
Can there anything good come out of Reno? Let’s see. On the fourth day of July, two bruisers met-one wrapped in black skin and the other wrapped in white skin. The bruiser in black skin whipped the bruiser in white skin, the outcome of which every Governor and every Mayor, with an army of thoughtful men and the united press with them, said this brutality must stop. They say it is not within the keeping for civilization. The say it MUST STOP. Amen. So might it be forever.
Can there anything good come out of the brutality of the fourth inst..? Let us hope and see.
We hope that the Governor of each State and the Mayor of each city and town, with an army of thoughtful men resolve that lynching must likewise go, because of its brutality. The Governor of Ohio has set pace. Let the intelligent of both black and white hope that the civilizing influences of the Gospel is finding a place in the hearts of the people. Yours for law and order,
W.H. Bates,
Annapolis, Md."
