The writer asserts that Macy, while defending education for all, nevertheless held supremacist beliefs. This may or may not have been her thinking. While Macy&#8217;s courage is admirable, it should be noted that the Harry Hill columns that ran weekly from 1880-1886 never profiled any African-American teachers in New York City, though many preceded and came after Macy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As they are makin\u2019 a big time in the papers now about the comin\u2019 semi-centennial of the startin\u2019 of the Anti-Slavery Society, it may be interestin\u2019 to my readers to recall the followin\u2019 incident of the old war times and their prejudices in this city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Some time ago I wrote about a man called Macy, who understood \u201cboy\u201d nature so well that I called him \u201can artist in boys.\u201d Certain qualities or attributes seem to run in families, and this Macy had a sister who was in her line quite as great an artist in girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She took charge of a girl\u2019s school in College Place, furnished by her brother for her, and carried it on in so admirable a manner that a number of wealthy ladies got interested in the enterprise, seein\u2019 how devoted she was to it, and how she liked her work, and how quietly and conscientiously she went about it, makin\u2019 no fuss, but doin\u2019 good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She was a tall, prim woman, wasn\u2019t all handsome, but had a sweet smile. It was her sweet smile and her pleasant manner that attached the children to her, and she got very much attached to children\u2013was a kind of a mother to all of \u2018em. Well, her school flourished and she started a little \u201cfree readin\u2019 room\u201d for her scholars, and got up some picnics, and altogether made herself a sort of Lady Bountiful in that part of the city, where heaven knows they needed somebody to be bountiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Most of the scholars were Irish, but some were German, and quite a number of \u2018em colored. The Irish children didn&#8217;t like the colored children, of course, and made it kind of unpleasant for \u2018em. But they didn&#8217;t go too far, for fear of offending Miss Macy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This was in the early days of the great civil war, which ran along in its big bloody way until at last the draft was commenced, when the three days\u2019 riot took place, in which a lot of negroes got killed and all the colored population in New York got frightened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Durin\u2019 the riot excitement the parents of the negro children kept \u2018em at home; but when order was restored the children went to school again. But by this time the mere dislike which had been entertained by the whites against the blacks had been increased to downright hatred, and the first day after the young negroes got back, the whites made things more than usually disagreeable to the colored children, whose numbers had now been increased, the colored people havin\u2019 learned to look up to and respect Miss Macy as bein\u2019 one who had some feelin\u2019s for the colored people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Under the circumstances it was all that Miss Macy could do to keep the Irish girls from comin\u2019 to blows with the colored girls. But she managed to get through the day without any open disturbance, and congratulated herself at the idea that in all probability the storm had blown off, and and that in a few days the prejudice against Negroes would wear off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But it didn&#8217;t wear off; it got increasin\u2019 The white girls went home and told their mothers and fathers that more colored children were being admitted to the school on the same terms as they were, and this piece of news made the mothers and fathers hoppin\u2019 mad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; They swore that the negroes shouldn&#8217;t be treated in the same way as their children were, and the next mornin\u2019 went to the school in College Place to give Miss Macy a piece of their mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Some six or seven mothers, and eight of the fathers, brothers, and so on, came to Miss Macy&#8217;s school next day determined to prevent the admission of \u201cthe colored delegates.\u201d But they found when they got there a class of the colored children gettin\u2019 instructed personally by Miss Macy herself. This made the white visitors mad, and they raised a lot of fuss, and stirred up a lot of noise. But Miss Macy went right on teachin\u2019 her class as if nothin\u2019 was the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Then, when she got through with the colored class, she went up to the white children who had just come with their fathers and mothers, and talked to \u2018em kindly, kissing \u2018em and leadin\u2019 them to their seats, the same as if nothin\u2019 had happened or was goin\u2019 to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The children, used to obeyin\u2019 Miss Macy, and sat down and in a minute more order would have been restored, had not an old woman who hadn&#8217;t any children of her own at the school begun to abuse Miss Macy and say it was a shame that \u201cthe children of decent white people should be made to \u2018sociate with the bloody nagers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This sentiment of hers bein\u2019 readily backed up by the men, distracted the children&#8217;s attention, and forced Miss Macy to do what she detested doin\u2019, make a speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It was a short and sensible one. She didn&#8217;t talk about white children bein\u2019 no better than black, or about the blacks bein\u2019 equal to the whites. In the first place, she didn&#8217;t think this true, and in the next place, she knew it would irritate those she wanted to conciliate. No, she took just the opposite ground and asked the \u201cwhite folk\u201d present, just because they were white and belonged to the winnin\u2019 color, to have pity on the poor little children, who were so despised on account of their color, and who had only the chance at her school here of gettin\u2019 educated at all. She took the hand and patted the head of one of the little picaninnies and appealed to the mothers present if it wasn&#8217;t a really nice and pretty child, and if it could help it&#8217;s having been born black, and asked \u2018em to give it a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This kind of talk touched some of the women, but it made the old hag I have just mentioned wild with rage, and, without talkin\u2019 any she took hold of the little pickaninny and pulled her away and told her to run off or she would break every bone in its blasted body. The pickaninny burst out cryin\u2019, and the other colored children, frightened, tried to run out of the school, but Miss Macy stopped \u2018em, made \u2018em go back to their seats, and seizin\u2019 the little pickaninny in her arms, said that she was schoolmistress here, and as long as she kept the school nobody, white or black, should ever keep anybody else out of it who wanted to stay in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Then a big, burly man, the husband of the old hag, swore that his \u201cold woman\u201d was right and that no negro\u2019s brat would ever go to school with any white child if he could help it, and, advancing to Miss Macy, tried to pull the pickaninny out of her arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Miss Macy wasn&#8217;t a strong woman\u2013on the contrary, frail and delicate. She wasn&#8217;t a fightin\u2019 woman, either. She was a Quakeress, too; but just then she would have faced all the men and women in creation in defense of her principles and her pickaninny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She drew herself up to her full height and look the big, burly man full in the face, straight in the eye, never flinched or quailed. It was a serious moment\u2013a dangerous situation. Had she shown the slightest sign, either of fear or bounce, the big, burly man and the big, burly men and women round him would have conquered her, injured her, perhaps killed her in a moment. But she was true grit. She neither swaggered nor trembled, but stood there holdin\u2019 the pickaninny and looking just like what she was, a woman who would have died for what she thought right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And so the big, burly man did nothin\u2019, and the big, burly men and women around did nothin\u2019, only took their children away with \u2018em and left the school almost empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And when they were gone the gentle Miss Macy, who was as brave as a regiment of men just a minute before, became a woman again and burst into a good fit of cryin\u2019. She could afford to cry now after she had conquered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And she had conquered, too, far more than she imagined; for within a few days the white mothers and fathers felt ashamed of \u2018emselves and took their children back to school again, and in their warm-hearted way were afterwards better friends of Miss Macy\u2019s than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There was never any more \u201ccolor line\u201d drawn in that school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
