Excerpt from A Constitutional and Educational Solution of the Negro Problem: An Address Delivered in the Senate Chamber, Albany N. Y., At the Opening of the 41st Annual Convocation, of the University of the State of New York, Tuesday Evening, June 29, 1903
So tonight I plead for a constitutional solution of the negro problem. I plead for the same law for the negro as for the white man. There must be some stage, said the Supreme Court, when the negro takes the rank of a mere citizen and ceases to be the special favorite of the laws, and when his rights as a citizen, or a man, are to be protected in the ordinary modes by which other men's rights are protected. [109 U. S. 25] That stage is now reached; and for the constitutional rights of the eight million Southern negroes, as mere citizens, I plead tonight.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex social and political landscape of the American South following the Civil War, specifically focusing on the challenge of integrating newly emancipated African Americans into a society still grappling with the legacy of slavery. The author explores the legal and moral arguments surrounding the rights and responsibilities of both the individual states and the federal government in addressing this critical issue. The book's central argument centers on the crucial role of education in achieving meaningful integration. The author contends that state governments, despite their considerable power over civil, social, and political rights, are financially incapable of adequately educating their black populations. This, he argues, necessitates a federal intervention, with the nation taking on the responsibility of ensuring universal literacy among its citizens. The author's detailed analysis of state and federal powers and duties draws upon a wealth of legal precedent, historical context, and contemporary social commentary. He illuminates the tensions between state sovereignty and federal intervention, while underscoring the moral imperative of national action. This book offers a unique and compelling perspective on a pivotal moment in American history, revealing the interconnectedness of education, citizenship, and the very fabric of a nation grappling with its past and forging its future.
