The driver struggled, but Belton succeeded in getting astride of him and holding him down.

The train shortly pulled out, and Belton jumped up and ran to wave a good-bye to his girl friend.
Later in the day, the driver had him arrested and the police justice fined him ten dollars.

A crowd of white men who heard Belton's story, admired his respect for the girl, and paid the fine for him and made up a purse.
At Stowe University, Belton had learned to respect women.

It was in these schools that the work of slavery in robbing the colored women of respect, was undone.

Woman now occupied the same position in Belton's eye as she did in the eye of the Anglo-Saxon.
There is hope for that race or nation that respects its women.
