"When I saw colored women doing all the work in cases of accouchement, and all the fee going to some white doctor who merely looked on, I asked myself why should I not get the fee myself. [...] Some of the best white doctors in the city have welcomed me, and say that they will give me an even chance in the profession. That is all I ask"
