1982 - H Dec. 27:2/3, 4 - In a letter to the editor, "C. S. M." writes
of a case in Hilton Head, S. C., where a colored man whipped his wife
and son until the son died. He says: "The colored man had been a slave
driver among the rice fields in Georgia for a number of years. He had
no opportunity to indulge in his propensities for a long time, and I
suppose it was as much a gratification to him to whip that boy to death
as it is for an old toper to take a drink. I take it this is one of the
outcroppings of the institution (we see a great many) and shows the deep,
hellish damning influence of this accursed system upon the black race."
