New Source: Negro Wit and Humor

It's always exciting to find a new source, and this is a wild one: a book by a white author, reporting on "Negro Wit and Humor," as the title of the book proclaims. The author is Marion Harmon, a white minister who lived in Kentucky; born in 1861, he died in 1940. The book was published in 1919. I'll have more to say about this bizarre book later on, but I just had to share the second story in the book here. I think this counts as a "John and the Master" story, and it is also about... lynching. Strange fruit indeed. Online at the Internet Archive.
