What does Mrs. Johnson know?
the difference between educated and uneducated people

Buffalo N.Y. July 31 1863
Excellent Sir: My son went in the 54th regiment. I am a colored woman and my son was strong and able as any to fight for his country and the colored people have as much to fight for as any.
I have but poor education but I never went to school, but I know just as well as any what is right.
–Hannah Johnson
