I Was a Negro in the South for 30 Days":
Fifty years ago, Ray Sprigle of the Post-Gazette posed as a black man to
experience firsthand what life was like for 10 million people living under
the system of legal segregation known as Jim Crow.
As he wrote in his 21-part series,
"I Was a Negro in the South for 30 Days":
"I quit being white, and free, and an American citizen when I climbed
aboard that Jim Crow coach. . . . From then on, until I came up out of the
South four weeks later, I was black, and in bondage not quite slavery but
not quite freedom, either.
To mark the 50th anniversary of Sprigle's work, which was first
published in the Post-Gazette beginning Aug. 9, 1948, the Post-Gazette
republished selected chapters from his accounts.
Post-gazette.com has compiled the entire 21-part series for publication,
including an introduction by Post-Gazette staff writer Bill Steigerwald
that looks at Sprigle's unusual reporting career..
The language and editing remain the same as when the stories first
appeared.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
