Nasby on a Mercy Mission in Kentucky Ohio Controversy
Mr Nasby recounts a visit to a Democratic township in Kentucky where Black children, daughters of a slaveholder named Lett, were allowed to attend white schools. He depicts strong racial hostility, a school board confrontation, and a plan to expel the girls to preserve white supremacy, ending with disbelief at the pupils’ near whiteness and the board’s hesitation.
