"Citizens In The Making": Black Philadelphians, The Republican Party And Urban Reform, 1885-1913 Abstract “Citizens in the Making” broadens the scope of historical treatments of black politics at the end of the nineteenth century by shifting the focus of electoral battles away from the South, where states wrote disfranchisement into their constitutions. Philadelphia offers a municipal-level perspective on the relationship between African Americans, the Republican Party, and political and social reformers, but the implications of this study reach beyond one city to shed light on a nationwide effort to degrade and diminish black citizenship. I argue that black citizenship was constructed as alien and foreign in the urban North in the last decades of the nineteenth century and that this process operated in tension with and undermined the efforts of black Philadelphians to gain traction on their exercise of the franchise. For black Philadelphians at the end of the nineteenth century, the franchise did not seem doomed or secure anywhere in the nation.

  • Archival Expert Assignment Sheet
    Melissa Range Lawrence University [email protected] Archival expert assignment sheet This term, you will be in charge of leading one class as the “archival expert.” Your assignment is simple: I want you to read nineteenth century newspapers published by African American editors. Using two of the library’s electronic databases—African American Newspapers and/or Accessible Archives—you will make use of digital archives to provide historical context for the day’s reading. Here’s what to do for prep work, step by step: • On the date you’re signed up to be the archival expert, look at when the writer published their works. (So, for example: Frances Ellen Watkins Harper published Poems on Miscellaneous Subjects in 1855.) • Determine a location that is relevant to the writer, if possible. For Harper, this could be Baltimore (where she grew up), Philadelphia (where she lived and worked as an adult), or Boston (where she frequently lectured). • Now choose a newspaper that is relevant to the date and the location of the poet. If you want to get even more specific, you can (for example, you could look at an abolitionist newspaper for Harper). If you can find one, you can also choose a newspaper where the writer published. • Select an issue of the newspaper and read the whole thing: news, editorials, poetry, even the advertisements. (Be forewarned, the print is tiny and there’s a lot of text.) As you read, make note of anything at all—newspaper poems, news items, even weather—that you feel gives interesting context to the work the class will be discussing.

  • In 1848 the Slave-Turned-Abolitionist Frederick Douglass Wrote In
    The Union LeagUe, BLack Leaders, and The recrUiTmenT of PhiLadeLPhia’s african american civiL War regimenTs Andrew T. Tremel n 1848 the slave-turned-abolitionist Frederick Douglass wrote in Ithe National Anti-Slavery Standard newspaper that Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, “more than any other [city] in our land, holds the destiny of our people.”1 Yet Douglass was also one of the biggest critics of the city’s treatment of its black citizens. He penned a censure in 1862: “There is not perhaps anywhere to be found a city in which prejudice against color is more rampant than Philadelphia.”2 There were a number of other critics. On March 4, 1863, the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, commented after race riots in Detroit, “Even here, in the city of Philadelphia, in many places it is almost impossible for a respectable colored per- son to walk the streets without being assaulted.”3 To be sure, Philadelphia’s early residents showed some mod- erate sympathy with black citizens, especially through the Pennsylvania Abolition Society, but as the nineteenth century progressed, Philadelphia witnessed increased racial tension and a number of riots. In 1848 Douglass wrote in response to these pennsylvania history: a journal of mid-atlantic studies, vol. 80, no. 1, 2013.

  • The Rise of the African American Church in Philadelphia, 1787-1949
    The Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia is the sole owner of the following written and graphic material which cannot be disseminated or reproduced without the prior written approval of the Preservation Alliance. Contact: 215-546-1146 x 2. FROM REFUGE TO STRENGTH: THE RISE OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN CHURCH IN PHILADELPHIA, 1787-1949 Matthew S. Hopper Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia INTRODUCTION: Philadelphia has been a center of African American religious activity for more than two centuries, and much of its history and tradition has been preserved in Philadelphia’s historic African American religious buildings. Today there are nearly 100 church buildings of vital historic significance within Philadelphia’s city limits, several of which have been occupied by more than one historic African American congregation. Some of these church buildings were built by blacK congregations in times of intense racial prejudice or economic insecurity and stand today as monuments to the growing strength and solidarity of Philadelphia’s African American church. Other church buildings were purchased from previous owners, most often formerly wealthy white congregations. These buildings demonstrate the Church’s increasing economic power as well as Philadelphia’s evolving ethnic and religious demography. Both types of buildings help tell the story of the developing African American community in Philadelphia and, on a larger scale, the wider African American religious experience from colonial times to the present. The story told by Philadelphia’s historic African American church buildings is a story of the changing role of the blacK church in the city. Philadelphia’s first black churches emerged in the late 18th century as products of genuine Christian sentiment among several of the city’s blacK leaders, coupled with frustration with the hypocrisy of racism that blacK congregants experienced from predominantly white congregations and a need for community networKs with which to survive in an aggressive, racially-divided city.
