Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonization of the Free Colored Population of Maryland, and of Such Slaves as May Hereafter Become Free: Statement of Facts, for the Use of Those Who Have Not Yet Reflected on This Important Subject The truth of the above remarks is so manifest, that it cannot be contested; and every man bf sense, whether he be white or co lored, who reflects upon the subject, must see there is but one remedy for the enumerated evils. That remedy is removal. As it is clearly impossible for'the whites to remove, who are the vast majority, and possess the government, the soil, education, &c. &c., it follows that the colored population must remove, beginning with those that are now free, and continuing with those that may hereafter become so. Experience has already proved, that where the free people of color shall begin to be removed, many slave-holders who would never consent to give their slaves freedom and let them remain here, will manumit them on condition of their going away. Merely to manumit them would not always be a benefit. They can never be but nominally free; their previous habits disqualify them: often for proper exertions here for their own support; their low and hopeless rank in society deprives them of all honorable ambition. 'for these reasons, it seems to be decided by the public sentiment, that to inspire them with a proper feeling of emulation, they must be placed in a state of society where they will enjoy equal rights in every respect.

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 The Free Negro in Maryland 1634 1860 Classic Reprint written by James M. Wright and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Free Negro in Maryland, 1634-1860 The subject Of the free negro has not been left untouched. Sidelights on the earlier period are to be found in Mac c'onnac's White Servitude in Maryland, and some in formation occurs ih certain of the general and special his tories, but in Brackett's The Negro in Maryland is found a predecessor in which the space devoted to manumission and the free negroes nearly equals that given to the slaves. Dr. Brackett's faithful chronicle Of the formal history has made his work an inevitable help in its field. Although the present study is narrower in scope, and although in its chapters II, III and X, especially, it retraces many of the steps taken in the preceding work, in chapters II and X, at least, it draws upon lucrative materials from which the earlier work derived nothing mentionable. It has seemed meet to interweave what these sources yielded with the formal history, and thus to give further account of the following matters: the reasons for the manumission Of some negroes and the failure to manumit others, how manumission was understood and executed by the owners Of negroes, the territorial distribution Of the free negroes and slaves, the genesis, development, retardation and fiasco Of the colonization movement and the clash Of economic interests over the negro question in state politics. Furthermore, although Brackett has given the law and some Of the other facts about apprenticeship and vagrancy, and al though the materials contained in Bishop Payne's History of the African Methodist Episcopal Church were indispen sable to the chapter on the church, chapters IV-IX (inclu sive) attempt to cover ground that had not been previously cultivated intensively. The work whose results are presented was first under taken at the instance of the Carnegie Institution Of Wash ington, D. C. A subvention from that source made possible the assembling Of most Of the materials used. The writer wishes further to make acknowledgments to Mr. Alfred H. Stone, Professor J. C. Ballagh and Dr. B. C. Steiner for assistance and counsel; to the library staffs Of the Peabody Institute and the Maryland and New York His torial Societies and to the custodians Of state and county archives and Of certain church records and business account books for permission to use materials and for assistance dur ing the researches; and finally to his wife who aided for months in exploring many volumes of newspapers and public records.

Download or read book Ideas in Unexpected Places written by Leslie M. Alexander and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This transformative collection advances new approaches to Black intellectual history by foregrounding the experiences and ideas of people who lacked access to more privileged mechanisms of public discourse and power. While the anthology highlights renowned intellectuals such as W. E. B. Du Bois, it also spotlights thinkers such as enslaved people in the antebellum United States, US Black expatriates in Guyana, and Black internationals in Liberia. The knowledge production of these men, women, and children has typically been situated outside the disciplinary and conceptual boundaries of intellectual history. The volume centers on the themes of slavery and sexuality; abolitionism; Black internationalism; Black protest, politics, and power; and the intersections of the digital humanities and Black intellectual history. The essays draw from diverse methodologies and fields to examine the ideas and actions of Black thinkers from the eighteenth century to the present, offering fresh insights while creating space for even more creative approaches within the field. Timely and incisive, Ideas in Unexpected Places encourages scholars to ask new questions through innovative interpretive lenses—and invites students, scholars, and other practitioners to push the boundaries of Black intellectual history even further.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address of the Unconditional Union State Central Committee to the People of Maryland It was called into lacing by an emergency, for that emergency, and none of those who were its godfathers imagined that it was to propagate and have perpetual succession, or that a Union party, as such, in the swift vicissitudes of the times, was to be other than temporary. After the Gubernatorial election of 1861 it did no official act, and had no recognised official existence for a year and a half. In the spring of the present year, the Union men throughout the State desired conference and organization, that they might be able more effectually to sustain the National Administration in its great struggles, and the press, in various quarters of the State, suggested that some organization should take the initiative, as the Union men of Baltimore had done in 1861, and cull a State Convention. The first formal expression of this desire was made by a mass meeting of the Union men of Allegany, held in Cumberland on the 80th of April. The resolutions of that meeting found a ready response from various quarter?, and on the 27th of May the Grand League of the State of Maryland, as "the only State organisation of the Union party in existence," issued a call for a State Convention, to assemble in the city of Baltimore, on the 16th of June. This call was addressed to "all persons who support the whole policy of the Government in suppressing the rebellion," and the delegates elected under it were selected and voted for without reference to any known or supposed affiliation or membership with the Union Leagues. Meanwhile, however, by secret circular, a meeting bad been called at Barnum's Hotel on the 14th of May It was attended by certain "conservative" gentlemen from about half the counties of the State, the most of whom had a contingent desire for the support of the Government. In their deliberations they discovered the fossil State Central Committee of 1861, and selected it as their instrument for effecting their purposes, and the President of the meeting " indulged the hope that the Chairman of the Committee would have no hesitation in calling the Committee together." The Chairman "did not feel justified in calling together the State Central Committee by his own summons, as their Chairman," but he convened the Baltimore city members of that Committee, and those members agreed upon a call of the whole Committee. That Committee (more or less) met on the 28th of May, (the day after the Grand League had called a State Convention, ) and adopted a resolution, which was published on the, 29th, calling a State Convention to meet in the city of Baltimore on the 23d of June. Both calls were now before the people; the result was as might have been supposed - the people were confused. Some counties elected to the Convention of the 16th, some to that of the 23d; some sent delegates to both.

There still remained considerable discrimination in the law. Thence forth, there was little action touching the colored people, in the halls of assembly at Annapolis.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the governor-elect of Maryland, the “compassionate” (People), “startling” (Baltimore Sun), “moving” (Chicago Tribune) true story of two kids with the same name from the city: One went on to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated combat veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader. The other is serving a life sentence in prison. Selected by Stephen Curry as his “Underrated” Book Club Pick with Literati The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine. The tragedy is that my story could have been his. In December 2000, the Baltimore Sun ran a small piece about Wes Moore, a local student who had just received a Rhodes Scholarship. The same paper also ran a series of articles about four young men who had allegedly killed a police officer in a spectacularly botched armed robbery. The police were still hunting for two of the suspects who had gone on the lam, a pair of brothers. One was named Wes Moore. Wes just couldn’t shake off the unsettling coincidence, or the inkling that the two shared much more than space in the same newspaper. After following the story of the robbery, the manhunt, and the trial to its conclusion, he wrote a letter to the other Wes, now a convicted murderer serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. His letter tentatively asked the questions that had been haunting him: Who are you? How did this happen? That letter led to a correspondence and relationship that have lasted for several years. Over dozens of letters and prison visits, Wes discovered that the other Wes had had a life not unlike his own: Both had had difficult childhoods, both were fatherless; they’d hung out on similar corners with similar crews, and both had run into trouble with the police. At each stage of their young lives they had come across similar moments of decision, yet their choices would lead them to astonishingly different destinies. Told in alternating dramatic narratives that take readers from heart-wrenching losses to moments of surprising redemption, The Other Wes Moore tells the story of a generation of boys trying to find their way in a hostile world.
