Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Appeal of a Colored Man, to His Fellow-Citizens of a Fairer Hue, in the United States This appeal is addressed to my fellow-citizens of the United States, because the subject matter of the appeal directly concerns them; for nowhere else in the world is such an appeal necessary. The conventional rules of society are nowhere else so rigid as in the United States of America. Color here is a barrier to every calling, except the most menial and humble. Hence we appeal to those who can correct, or at least help to correct, the matter of which we complain, and thus bring about results which will be advantageous to those to whom 1 address myself, as well as for those for whom this appeal is made. It is a fact that cannot be ignored, however much men may be disposed to, that the colored man labors under difficulties and burdens which no other people do. It is true that he has been emancipated. It is true that he has been enfranchised. The one was the result of military necessity, unavoidably. The other was the needs of the government to help maintain its power over the disloyal States.
