1965 - L. Mar. 8:4/3, 4 - In a speech at the Sanitary fair, Miss Dickinson
referred to a story of the black man at Rodmans Point, who, when a boat
was stuck fast and swept by Rebel bullets, coolly got up and pushed it
off, remarking: "Somebody must die to get out of this and it might as
well be I." Above all groans, l;atred and sighs comes the voice of a
down-trodden people saying: "Somebody must die to get us out of this
and it might as well be we."
When she compared the Breckenridge Democrats in New York as fit
associates for robbers in the South, several people got up and walked
out, whereupon the speaker remarked; "Thats right, run away from the
truth you can't stand." (43)
