Frederick Douglass. Greatest killer of both Negroes and whites is heart disease. But while tuberculosis has dropped to seventh place among whites, it still holds second among Negroes, killing over 15,000 every year. Like syphilis, the "white plague" is a white man's disease, was unknown in Africa. Some authorities hold that the Negro is more susceptible to tuberculosis than the white man because he has been exposed to the tubercle bacillus for only three or four generations, has not yet developed the white man's age-old resistance.

It is equally unimportant that the Preacher, who has never understood religion, becomes an agitator, or that Tom Joad becomes a fugitive from justice. Ma is the important thing in The Grapes of Wrath, for Ma begins as one thing, ends as another. A bewildered, homeless, heartbroken woman when the picture opens, at its close she is an immovable force, holding the crumbling family together against things she does not even understand, against agitators as well...
