About this Item

Title

  • The race problem: great speech of Frederick Douglass, delivered before the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, in the Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, Washington, D.C., October 21, 1890

Summary

  • In this speech, the elder Douglass reacts to southern "Resurrectionists" and their attempts to deprive southern Blacks of their recently won civil rights. He examines the so-called "Negro problem" in this light and expresses his faith that the federal government will continue to enforce civil rights for African Americans in the South.
