A Southern panel of lawyers cites the higher mortality statistics for Black people as a "benefit."
Date: 1911
The panel reflects that tuberculosis and pulmonary diseases will eventually reduce and completely eradicate the Black community. The lawyers also call for ‘‘the increased use of cocaine among the Negroes [to] greatly hasten this result.’’ Using words like "extinction," they express their disappointments over any health measure that takes social conditions into consideration or supports the Black community.
