A week or so later, Halley’s Comet blazes across the horizon for the first time since 1759. People sit on front porches to watch for it, and some preach Doomsday sermons from the Book of Revelations about the fire next time, but nothing happens. Andrew Carnegie discovers he has so much money he can’t give it all away; and when the library he’s funding at Washington, D.C.’s black Howard University opens in May, he himself attends, as does President Taft. Jim Jeffries finally agrees to come out of retirement and challenge Jack Johnson in Reno on the Fourth of July, and despite concerns that the Great White Hope is out of boxing condition, his supporters are convinced his superior intelligence will carry the day, while black people trust that their man will once again come through.
