Excerpt from A Speech on the Present Duties and Future Destiny of the Negro Race: September 2, 1872Another thing deserves more than a passing notice in this connection, thato' is the want of colored writers. I know of nothing that has worked so much to our disadvantage as our carelessness in this respect. I have been asked a then sand times, why we had no history, and I have both gaped and sighed in giving a reply, so as to make time to tumble with the fingers of my mind, amid the dusty records of the past, trying to scratch up a little, which when collected was too frequently doubtful as to its authenticity. There is no doubt but what we have been too direlict in all ages, about noting events connected with our history.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
