Excerpt from The Fourth Annual Report of the Managers of the Society for the Prevention of Pauperism, in the City of New-York: Read and Accepted, January, 1821 In this building, the white and black females are kept separate, in two large rooms; the white and black males are also consigned to two other distinct apart ments, except in cases of sickness, or when the arrange. Ments for labor require them to be mingled. There is, however, very little employment afforded to the females of either color; and none to the men, except Working on the highway, where they toil in chains.
