About This Book

A set of scholarly papers and addresses from a 1915 meeting surveys legal, social, and economic aspects of African American life. Essays explore the constitutional status of free Negroes prior to 1860 and during 1860–1870, analyze economic contributions to the nation, assess sex relations and the moral effects of segregation, and consider the wider message to people of African descent. Historical narrative and constitutional analysis are paired with empirical documentation and an annual bibliography, offering historical context, critique of institutional inequalities, and references for further study.
