You Think Slavery Ended in 1865?

This is how John Davis became a slave:

He was walking one evening from the train depot in Goodwater, Ala., when a white man appeared in the road. ''Nigger,'' he demanded, "have you got any money?''

The white man, Robert Franklin, was a constable. He claimed Davis owed him. This was news to Davis.

''I don't owe you anything,'' he said.
