Emancipation oration! - African American Perspectives Materials

Emanuel K. Love, a prominent Baptist cleric, was at this time a minister in Thomasville, Ga. Here, he addresses the "Negro problem" in the U.S. and how to solve it. Love sees the need for education, land, money, and homes as more important than the franchise to African Americans and predicts revolution unless lynchings, etc., against blacks in the South are corrected.
