Wilson Daily Times, 6 October 1922.
Even as the Times reported that a prominent African-American citizen had raised a concern about the scarcity of public toilets, the paper reminded Black Wilsonians that there was already a “convenience” for them in the basement of the county courthouse and suggested that they use it.

What was the year of THIS newspaper clipping? I am so glad time has passed and we are no longer relegated by man to the basement. Thank God for the personal dignity bestowed upon my people for they surely didn’t get it from any man!!
