from the Special Collections Library at Duke University,
Elizabeth Johnson Harris Life Story, 1867-1923:
“Rev. Moody was a fine gospel preacher and large crowds of white and colored were out each night to hear the splendid sermons and the beautiful singing by his choir of only two members, Rev. Moody was perfectly free and friendly as a man of God, with both white and colored. He extended a free invitation to one and all, to these services. The audience was sometimes mixed, the crowds were great and the Holy Spirit seemed to be in such control over the house that the color of skin was almost forgotten for the time being.”
…almost.
