Title: Colored American - September 30, 1837

Speaker or author: editor

Newspaper or publication: Colored American (1837 - 1842)

The writer stresses that good moral habits begin at home. If parents are moral, industrious, and place a strong emphasis on improvement and elevation, their children will adopt similar habits. Strong moral, spiritual, and industrious habits offer a way of being perceived by the community in a positive light, and do much to deter social prejudice.
