- Night_Doctors abstract "Night Doctors, also known as Night Riders, Night Witches, Ku Klux Doctors, and Student Doctors are bogeymen of African American folklore, with some factual basis. Emerging from the realities of grave robbing, enforced and punitive medical experimentation, and intimidation rumours spread maliciously by many Southern whites, the Night Doctors purpose was to further prevent slaves, Free Men, and black workers leaving for the North of the United States of America, in a prescient foreshadowing of the inevitable events during the early to mid 20th century, now known as The Great Migration.African American folklore told of white doctors who would abduct, kill, and dissect, performing a plethora of experiments, referred to as “Night Doctors”. These tales are difficult to verify. White slave owners disseminated scare stories of putative tortures performed by “Night Doctors” to prevent freed slaves from moving to the North. In order to augment rumours, white slave owners dressed in white sheets to represent kidnappers. Wandering the African American communities, perpetuating beliefs slaves would be abducted, taken to medical facilities and killed.To many African Americans these \"Night Doctors\" weren't just fictions used as scare tactics; they were real life.A poem was created from the fears of the African Americans that applied more realism to the Night Doctor myths:THE DISSECTING HALLYuh see dat house? Dat great brick house?Way yonder down de street?Dey used to take dead folks een darWrapped een a long white sheet.An' sometimes we'en a nigger' d stop,A-wondering who was dead,Dem stujent men would take a clubAn' bat 'im on de head.An' drag dat poor dead nigger chileRight een dat 'sectin hallTo vestigate 'is liver-lights-His gizzardan' 'is gall.Tek off dat nigger's han's an' feet-His eyes, his head, an' all,An' w'en dem stujent finishDey was nothin' left at all.".
