Publisher's Synopsis
""Masterpieces of Negro Eloquence"" is a collection of powerful speeches delivered by Black leaders and activists from the era of slavery to the early 20th century. Edited by Alice Moore Dunbar, a prominent African American writer and activist, the book features speeches by well-known figures such as Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, and W.E.B. Du Bois, as well as lesser-known orators such as Mary Church Terrell and John Mercer Langston. The speeches cover a range of topics, including the struggle for freedom and equality, the fight against lynching and Jim Crow laws, and the importance of education and self-reliance. Through these speeches, readers gain insight into the struggles and triumphs of the Black community throughout American history. Published in 1914, ""Masterpieces of Negro Eloquence"" remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Black activism and the power of oratory in social and political movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
