From the Paper:

"The new black migrants looked upon the established black families with contempt at their dependence on wealthy whites and their false air of superiority over members of their own race. One black migrant who became a successful businessman described how the new migrants supplanted the supposed intellectual of the Northern Negroes. He described the waves of immigrants that were coming in now. Their kids grew up from the fields without access to white-dependent jobs. They had to struggle to survive and make it. "
