“... a far more insidious plan was discovered, for we found that the architect’s plans and the intents of the Directors of the [Carolina-West Indian] Exposition, was to have separate restrooms and eating places for Negroes and for whites.

Resisting Jim crow:
The Autobiography of Dr. John A. McFall
Historic manuscript introduces
an eye-witness to Charleston’s injustice
“Injustice… is a cancer that is rapidly eating into the vitals of our nation.” A newspaper reported Dr. John A. McFall’s words at an annual program on race relations at a Charleston church in 1936. The details of how Dr. McFall and many thousands experienced the transition to Jim Crow in Charleston is vividly told in the book Resisting Jim Crow: The Autobiography of Dr. John A. McFall. Found in the Fisk University Library—the manuscript was not originally intended for publication. Dr. McFall’s grandniece, Lahnice Hollister, edited and published it in 2021 because “few African-American voices tell our lived history.”
