Alexander Crummel, Episcopal priest, considers a slander against Black Americans. He says Agricultural stats show massive increase in production from 1865 to 1882, and Blacks were the **producers** of these crops. He says the false imputations are injurious to a race of people.

How can you speak up against slander?

John Chrysostom, archbishop of Constantinople, speaks of riches. He says injustice is `inherently tied to great wealth, and asks reader to trace it back to the Garden, where God never instituted anyone wealthier than others.

I won’t allow myself a second of snobbery at Chrysostom’s misunderstanding of economics until I have an hour to share in his indignation at the scandal of poverty.
