casting red and orange streaks across low-hanging clouds The portily, gray-haired
gentleman jogging down the path looked out of place. For one thing, he was dressed in ordinary street clothes, not a sweat
suit. Also, every few seconds, he looked anxiously back over his shoulder. Coming closer to me, I saw that his face was flushed He was panting, almost gasping Abruptly, looking this way and that he
moved behind a tree Seeming not to notice my presence, he stood with his back against the trunk, panting heavily. After a moment, he poked his head out to survey the path It was still empty, except for a
squirrel that dashed across the path like a furry dart. I checked my watch it was now 7.30 Mentally marking the time, I aimed my camera toward the man's face.

[W]hen any individual or combination of individuals undertakes to decide for any man when he shall work, where he shall work, at what he shall work, and for what he shall work, he or they practically reduce him to slavery. [Applause.] He is a slave. That I understand Gen. Banks to do—to determine for the so-called freedman, when, and where, and at what, and for how much he shall work, when he shall be punished, and by whom punished. It is absolute slavery. It defeats the beneficent intention of the Government, if it has beneficent intentions, in regards to the freedom of our people.
