Wait, wait. I know what I’ll do. I don’t care what it costs. Here, Tom, take this. Run, jump on your horse and buggy and fly over to Governor Tinkham’s house and don’t you let nobody—nobody—stop you. Just give him this ring and say, “Pauline sent this. She says they going to lynch her son born 21 years ago.” Mind you, say 21 years ago. Then say, listen close. “Look in his eyes and you’ll save him.”

Georgia Douglas Johnson, Blue-Eyed Black Boy, Public domain, 1930.
