and drove to Grand Prairie, which

and then drove over to Seminary Hill.
At our first stop, Tuskegee, Ala.,
we say the world famed Tuskegee
Normal and Industrial Institute for
Negroes. It is the largest school of
its kind in the world, and hay
rollment of three thousand students
from all parts of the world. As
drove through the fine grounds
noticed building after building where
different varieties of trades
taught I think that there is an oppor
tunity to team every one known. At
Tuskegee, too, there is the only Gov-
nent Hospital for negroes in the
S. The sturgeons, tturfce^, and
patients are all colored. The Hotel,

Between Montogomery and Selma

and I wished that the folks bock home
could have fields like those instead
of so much cotton. We have seer
enormous fields of cotton since wt
have been in Texas. In Alabama
however, hay seemed to be the pre
dominating crop.
Vicksburg was extremely interest
ing to us. We had all studied about
its important position in the Civil
Wnr, and here we saw the Vicksburg
National Cemetery, which is very
much like the one at Andcrsonville,
Ga. This was especialy pretty
moonlight. You see we had to stop
near it to fix a “flat” even though
the boys were a bit “shakey.

childhood to crossing it some day,
