Book excerpt: Excerpt from Duplicate Copy of the Souvenir From the Afro-American League of Tennessee to Hon. James M. Ashley of Ohio Honorable James M. Ashley early caught the living faith and prophetic spirit of Whittier. He felt and fully understood the flagrant sin of slavery. This will appear vividly to all who shall read the addresses and orations which have been compiled by his negro friends and published in this volume. It was given to Mr. Ashley prior to and after the outbreak of the war of the rebellion, to point out the line of policy to be pursued in forum and field, for the salvation of the nation. Conversant as I am with our anti-slavery literature for over half a century, and with the speeches and orations of our ablest anti-slavery leaders, I am warranted in saying that, among them all, there are few, if any, more worthy of preservation than are the prophetic speeches and orations contained in this book. Remembering that truth is many-sided, and that few men, even with the best intentions, are able to see it except from its single or narrow side, the abundant charity to. Be found in Mr. Ashley's speeches becomes the more marked, and attests the nobility of the man. To Mr. Ashley, as to few other great legislators, it was given to grasp with a firm understanding the problems in volved in our great battle with slavery and in the reconstrue tion of the government after the war. Like Sumner, Wilson, Wade, and Thaddeus Stevens, he saw the necessity of arm ing the negro with the panoply of the elective franchise. He was foremost in the debate for this great measure, and did not hesitate to risk the success of his own election, by the prominent part he took in face of formidable opposition. Nor was this opposition confined to the members of the oppo site party. There were timid Republicans in those days, as there have been since, and this timidity was shared by his State and the people of his district, as well as by mem bers of Congress, and it is no marvel that his prominence in furtherance of this measure of enfranchisement. Caused his defeat. With the aid of the Tribune Almanac, I am able to give the facts and figures in this case.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Pulitzer Prize–winning biographer Jon Meacham chronicles the life of Abraham Lincoln, charting how—and why—he confronted secession, threats to democracy, and the tragedy of slavery to expand the possibilities of America. “Meacham has given us the Lincoln for our time.”—Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Winner of the Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize • Longlisted for the Biographers International Plutarch Award • One of the Best Books of the Year: The Christian Science Monitor, Kirkus Reviews A president who governed a divided country has much to teach us in a twenty-first-century moment of polarization and political crisis. Hated and hailed, excoriated and revered, Abraham Lincoln was at the pinnacle of American power when implacable secessionists gave no quarter in a clash of visions bound up with money, race, identity, and faith. In him we can see the possibilities of the presidency as well as its limitations. At once familiar and elusive, Lincoln tends to be seen as the greatest of American presidents—a remote icon—or as a politician driven more by calculation than by conviction. This illuminating new portrait gives us a very human Lincoln—an imperfect man whose moral antislavery commitment, essential to the story of justice in America, began as he grew up in an antislavery Baptist community; who insisted that slavery was a moral evil; and who sought, as he put it, to do right as God gave him to see the right. This book tells the story of Lincoln from his birth on the Kentucky frontier in 1809 to his leadership during the Civil War to his tragic assassination in 1865: his rise, his self-education, his loves, his bouts of depression, his political failures, his deepening faith, and his persistent conviction that slavery must end. In a nation shaped by the courage of the enslaved of the era and by the brave witness of Black Americans, Lincoln’s story illustrates the ways and means of politics in a democracy, the roots and durability of racism, and the capacity of conscience to shape events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 1890, journalist T. Thomas Fortune stood before a delegation of African American activists in Chicago and declared, "We know our rights and have the courage to defend them," as together they formed the Afro-American League, the nation's first national civil rights organization. Over the next two decades, Fortune and his fellow activists organized, agitated, and, in the process, created the foundation for the modern civil rights movement. An Army of Lions: The Civil Rights Struggle Before the NAACP traces the history of this first generation of activists and the organizations they formed to give the most comprehensive account of black America's struggle for civil rights from the end of Reconstruction to the formation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in 1909. Here a host of leaders neglected by posterity—Bishop Alexander Walters, Mary Church Terrell, Jesse Lawson, Lewis G. Jordan, Kelly Miller, George H. White, Frederick McGhee, Archibald Grimké—worked alongside the more familiar figures of Ida B. Wells-Barnett, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Booker T. Washington, who are viewed through a fresh lens. As Jim Crow curtailed modes of political protest and legal redress, members of the Afro-American League and the organizations that formed in its wake—including the Afro-American Council, the Niagara Movement, the Constitution League, and the Committee of Twelve—used propaganda, moral suasion, boycotts, lobbying, electoral office, and the courts, as well as the call for self-defense, to end disfranchisement, segregation, and racial violence. In the process, the League and the organizations it spawned provided the ideological and strategic blueprint of the NAACP and the struggle for civil rights in the twentieth century, demonstrating that there was significant and effective agitation during "the age of accommodation."
