Who Speaks?
- The sentiment expressed by Mrs Bridges in the oral history (1980), and in my recollection of "Who Speaks for Birmingham?" (1961) sounds remarkably similar to an unidentified Southern woman in Atlanta, quoted by Ray Stannard Baker in his 1908 book Following the Color Line: "'They don’t sing as they used to,' she said. 'You should have known the old darkeys of the plantation. Every year, it seems to me, they have been losing more and more of their care-free good humour. I sometimes feel that I don’t know them any more. Since the riot they have grown so glum and serious that I’m free to say I’m scared of them!' ", (p. 28) --Dystopos 10:28, 16 March 2011 (PDT)
