Epigraph and Dedication[edit | edit source]
A VOICE FROM THE SOUTH.
“With regret
I forget
If the song be living yet,
Yet remember, vaguely now,
It was honest, anyhow.”
Bishop Benjamin William Arnett,
With profound regard for his heroic devotion to
God and the Race,
both in Church and in State,—and with sincere esteem for his unselfish espousal of the cause of the Black Woman and of every human interest that lacks a Voice and needs a Defender, this, the primary utterance of my heart and pen,
Is Affectionately Inscribed.
