Freedman’s Savings Bank

Despite my efforts to uphold the Freedman’s Savings and Trust Company it has fallen. It has been the Black man’s cow, but the white man’s milk.
I think the remaining 38 per cent of such of these deposits as have claimants should be paid by the Government, upon principles of equity and fairness.
