This is a cleverly written story about a well-educated porter named Dixon and his interactions with various passengers, covering everything from crackers to self-hating educated blacks. But the story is a only a backdrop for Rogers’ own historical research and philosophy:
“‘Didn’t you say you did not believe in the equality of the races?’
‘Yes, sir.’
‘Then why?’
‘Because as you said, sir, it is impossible.’
‘Why? Why?’
‘Because there is but one race—the Human Race.’” SC
