This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address to Free Colored Americans Nothing will contribute more to break the bondman's fetters, than an example of high moral worth, intellectual culture and religious attainments among the free people of color - living epistles known and read of all men - a stan dard of exalted piety, of dedication to the works of right eousness, of humble-mindedness, of Christian charity; to which abolitionists may confidently point, and ask those who are forging the manacles of hopeless servitude for our countrymen, what they can answer to the Judge of all the earth for thus robbing him of his immortal creatures and demand of them, in view of what their slaves might be, to restore their victims to themselves, to the human family, and to God. We know, and we rejoice in the knowledge, that the gift of intellect is co-extensive with the human race, and that our brethren and sisters, who are writhing under the lash of worse than Egyptian taskmasters - whose minds are beclouded by ignorance and enfeebled by suffering, need only to have the same advantages which Europeans and their descendants have enjoyed, triumphantly to refute the unfounded calumny that they are inferior in the pow ers of intellect, and less susceptible of mental improve ment. We maintain, that the people of color are not in any respect inferior to the white man, and that under fa vorable circumstances they would rise again to the rank they formerly held.

Download or read book African American Life in the Georgia Lowcountry written by Philip Morgan and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lush landscape and subtropical climate of the Georgia coast only enhance the air of mystery enveloping some of its inhabitants—people who owe, in some ways, as much to Africa as to America. As the ten previously unpublished essays in this volume examine various aspects of Georgia lowcountry life, they often engage a central dilemma: the region's physical and cultural remoteness helps to preserve the venerable ways of its black inhabitants, but it can also marginalize the vital place of lowcountry blacks in the Atlantic World. The essays, which range in coverage from the founding of the Georgia colony in the early 1700s through the present era, explore a range of topics, all within the larger context of the Atlantic world. Included are essays on the double-edged freedom that the American Revolution made possible to black women, the lowcountry as site of the largest gathering of African Muslims in early North America, and the coexisting worlds of Christianity and conjuring in coastal Georgia and the links (with variations) to African practices. A number of fascinating, memorable characters emerge, among them the defiant Mustapha Shaw, who felt entitled to land on Ossabaw Island and resisted its seizure by whites only to become embroiled in struggles with other blacks; Betty, the slave woman who, in the spirit of the American Revolution, presented a “list of grievances” to her master; and S'Quash, the Arabic-speaking Muslim who arrived on one of the last legal transatlantic slavers and became a head man on a North Carolina plantation. Published in association with the Georgia Humanities Council.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LARGE PRINT EDITION: An Address to All the Colored Citizens of the United States "DEAR FRIENDS: --The author of this little book was born a slave, in Goochland county, Virginia, May 3d, 1789. I belonged to a man by the name of Paul Meachum, who moved to North Carolina, and lived there nine years. He then moved to Hardin county, Kentucky, where I still remained a slave with him. He was a good man and I loved him, but could not feel myself satisfied, for he was very old, and looked as if death was drawing near to him. So I proposed to him to hire my time, and he granted it. By working in a saltpeter cave I earned enough to purchase my freedom. Still I was not satisfied, for I had left my father in old Virginia, and he was a slave. It seemed to me, at times, though I was seven hundred miles from him, that I held conversation with him, for he was near my heart. However, this did not stop here, for industry will do a great deal. In a short time I went to Virginia, and bought my father, and paid one hundred pounds for him, Virginia money. It was a joyful meeting when we met together, for we had been apart a long time. He was a Baptist preacher, living in Hanover county, and went by the name of Thomas Granger. While there, on a Sunday morning after I had bought the old man, he was singing and my eyes filled with tears. He turned to me and said, "you are yet in your sins." His words went to my heart, and I began to pray and seek the Lord. Four weeks from that day I found peace in believing upon the Lord Jesus, related my experience to the church, and was baptized by elder Puritan, in Louisa county. This was in the year 1811, when I was about twenty-one years old. My father and myself then earned enough to pay our expenses on the way, and putting our knapsacks on our backs walked seven hundred miles to Hardin county, Kentucky. Here the old man met his wife and all his children, who had been there several years. Oh there was joy! In a short time, my mother and all her children received their liberty, of their good old master. My father and his family settled in Harrison county, Indiana. I married a slave in Kentucky, whose master soon took her to St. Louis, in Missouri. I followed her, arriving there in 1815, with three dollars in my pocket. Being a carpenter and cooper I soon obtained business, and purchased my wife and children. Since that period, I have purchased about twenty slaves, most of whom paid back the greatest part of the money, and some paid all."
Download or read book Almost Dead written by Michael Lawrence Dickinson and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2022-05-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in the late seventeenth century and concluding with the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade, Almost Dead reveals how the thousands of captives who lived, bled, and resisted in the Black Urban Atlantic survived to form dynamic communities. Michael Lawrence Dickinson uses cities with close commercial ties to shed light on similarities, variations, and linkages between urban Atlantic slave communities in mainland America and the Caribbean. The study adopts the perspectives of those enslaved to reveal that, in the eyes of the enslaved, the distinctions were often of degree rather than kind as cities throughout the Black Urban Atlantic remained spaces for Black oppression and resilience. The tenets of subjugation remained all too similar, as did captives’ need to stave off social death and hold on to their humanity. Almost Dead argues that urban environments provided unique barriers to and avenues for social rebirth: the process by which African-descended peoples reconstructed their lives individually and collectively after forced exportation from West Africa. This was an active process of cultural remembrance, continued resistance, and communal survival. It was in these urban slave communities—within the connections between neighbors and kinfolk—that the enslaved found the physical and psychological resources necessary to endure the seemingly unendurable. Whether sites of first arrival, commodification, sale, short-term captivity, or lifetime enslavement, the urban Atlantic shaped and was shaped by Black lives.
Download or read book The Black Side written by E. R. Carter and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Black Side: A Partial History of the Business, Religious, and Educational Side of the Negro in Atlanta, Ga This Book comes to the public from one who has the care of a large pastorate, busy studying and praying in order to find how he may best serve his flock; it comes to a people who are not all prepared to appreciate a work of this kind from one of their own race. The Negro, it seems to the author, is not yet ready to encourage its men of a historical and literary turn of mind - not even those who are in advance of the common people. I have often thought if I was anything else but of the race I am, I might, perhaps, be something and be able to do and also make somebody else something, but as it is, I am doubtful. Yet I feel encouraged enough not to despair, but to push forward under God's help with hope to become something and to yet make my people something. It is universally conceded that ray people have accomplished what no other race in the world ever accomplished in so short a time, and notwithstanding I am not so flushed with what we have accomplished to forget the fact that we have not as yet more than got our foot on the bottom round of the ladder, whose top leads to all that a race must possess to be classed with the races who passed through centuries to lay their hands on the top round. Generations must come and go before this can be done. It took five hundred years to make a Jew in the days of Abraham, eight hundred years to make a Roman in Cicero's time, and one thousand years to make an Englishman.

This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Educational Principles for the South: An Address Delivered Before the Department of Superintendence of the National Educational Association at Atlanta, Georgia, on February the Twenty-Fourth, 1904 The old civilization, whose ruling class was an aristocracy of land and slaves, has given place to a political and industrial democracy with no ruling class. But herein lies our danger, and out of this fact grows the special necessity for a system of popular education which shall train all our citizens to think clearly and act fearlessly each for himself. Now this growing conception of the rights and powers of the individual is accompanied by a growing consciousness of his need of preparation for all his functions, especially for the perform ance of his duties as a citizen. Witness the great conventions of colored people like the one held recently at Tuskegee. Witness the political uprising of the poor white man a few years ago under the farmer's alliance and the populist party. Witness, also, the great movement for better schools now stirring the whole South. The plain white man has awakened and is pressing for the rights of his child, and to him we now look as our chief supporter in this effort for the improvement of the schools.

Its riots of May 28 and July 2, 1917, had origin in economic pressure aris ing from labor questions and the employment of negroes in the place of white men, and its sequence in barbarities which can be explained only by race prejudice. Tortur ing, burning, murder, lynching were rampant. Women and children were not spared. They burned 312 build ings. A large force of militia was called to duty. There were thirty-nine negroes and eight whites known to have been killed in the rioting. Many negroes were birds of passage, and estimates of the number of negroes killed ran as high as three hundred.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Senator Benjamin H. Hill of Georgia: His Life, Speeches and Writings; Also Memorial Addresses of Eminent Citizens of Georgia, Senators and Representatives in the Congress of the United States If in the selection I have included only those that were commendatory, it is because these only have stood the test of time and truth; and if in admiration of some act of wisdom or patriotism I have occasionally spoken words of praise, I hope it will be pardoned the son, and if unsupported by the facts will be attributed to filial affection and not discriminating judgment. In discussing some of the great questions of the past, I have occasionally given my own views, for which I am solely responsible. But after all, neither the Opinions of contemporaries, nor the pen of a biog rapher, although guided by filial devotion, can give so true and luminous conception of the man and the statesman as his own utterances. I have had great difficulty in collecting the speeches, and express in this place my obligation to T. H. Whitaker, of Troup County, and John L. Culver, of Hancock County, for valuable assistance in this direction. My father had one remarkable characteristic. He never preserved any of his speeches nor any criticism on his political course. His sole motive power was to serve his people. In his public work he lost sight of self. He was not a scrap book statesman. The accusation of enemies he did not care to remember. The kind words of friends he treasured in his heart. His fame he left en tirely to the future. Every speech of importance which was published will be found in this book. Few were revised or written by the author, and they appear just as they were reported at the time they were delivered. Aecom panying each speech there is given a brief narrative of the occasion of its delivery and the efiect produced at the time. The Notes on the Situation are given in full. They were written to meet a crisis in the South. The liberties and honor of the people were in peril. Constitutional Government was endangered. The crisis was met, the danger averted, but I believe the Notes will be found of permanent value. They will ever remain as models of invective against proposed wrong and of clear and powerful Con stitutional argument. With the earnest hope that the life of the father has not lost anything of its beauty and value by the presentation of the son, and trusting that the people of the South, in reading the works of the one, will be indulgent to the other, I present this volume to the public.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Colored American Working Man of the New Time: An Address Delivered Before the State Agricultural and Mechanical College for the Colored Race, at Greensboro, May 26, 1898 This movement, Industrial Education, is the most notable of all the successive reforms in popular education during the past fifty years. It means that this republic now calls on every Ameri can boy and girl, the twenty millions of young Americans who twenty - five years from today must be the solid phalanx at the center of the great fluetuating multitude of the American people, to put on the a'mor for the grand and awful time ahead. The republic now summons the superior class of the schools for colored youth to the work of lifting the fifty per cent of the eight millions of American citizens of African descent out of the slough of illiteracy which is the bottom curse of every southern Ameri can state and the chief obstacle to their progress in the career of American citizenship. It is an almost hopless task to attempt to improve the pre sent condition of labor even in the Northern states. While agreat multitude of ignorant and incompetent working men from over the sea is now enlisted in a campaign for awar of labor against capital, largely under the command of foreign demagogues and political adventurers, driving every northern state to the peril ous edge of civil war.

Download or read book To Build Our Lives Together written by Allison Dorsey and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After Reconstruction, against considerable odds, African Americans in Atlanta went about such self-interested pursuits as finding work and housing. They also built community, says Allison Dorsey. To Build Our Lives Together chronicles the emergence of the network of churches, fraternal organizations, and social clubs through which black Atlantans pursued the goals of adequate schooling, more influence in local politics, and greater access to municipal services. Underpinning these efforts were the notions of racial solidarity and uplift. Yet as Atlanta's black population grew--from two thousand in 1860 to forty thousand at the turn of the century--its community had to struggle not only with the dangers and caprices of white laws and customs but also with internal divisions of status and class. Among other topics, Dorsey discusses the boomtown atmosphere of post-Civil War Atlanta that lent itself so well to black community formation; the diversity of black church life in the city; the role of Atlanta's black colleges in facilitating economic prosperity and upward mobility; and the ways that white political retrenchment across Georgia played itself out in Atlanta. Throughout, Dorsey shows how black Atlantans adapted the cultures, traditions, and survival mechanisms of slavery to the new circumstances of freedom. Although white public opinion endorsed racial uplift, whites inevitably resented black Atlantans who achieved some measure of success. The Atlanta race riot of 1906, which marks the end of this study, was no aberration, Dorsey argues, but the inevitable outcome of years of accumulated white apprehensions about black strivings for social equality and economic success. Denied the benefits of full citizenship, the black elite refocused on building an Atlanta of their own within a sphere of racial exclusion that would remain in force for much of the twentieth century.
