About This Book

The speaker offers a historical and moral survey of African Americans' condition, tracing slavery's colonial origins, highlighting the Declaration of Independence and the Emancipation Proclamation, and arguing that legal freedom did not secure equal rights. He acknowledges Black military service, identifies persistent discrimination as a national problem, reviews past trials and recent gains, and urges perseverance, hope, and a renewed effort to settle racial injustice for true civic equality.
