Freedom and Citizenship: Selected Lectures and Addresses of Hon. John Mercer Langston (1883) is a collection of speeches and lectures by John Mercer Langston, a prominent African American lawyer, politician, and educator in the late 19th century. The book was published in 1883 and reflects Langston's views on the issues of freedom and citizenship in America during that time.The book is divided into three parts. The first part includes speeches on the importance of education and the role of African Americans in the political process. The second part focuses on the history of slavery and the struggle for freedom, including Langston's own experiences as a former slave. The third part includes speeches on the challenges facing African Americans in the post-Civil War era, including discrimination and voter suppression.Throughout the book, Langston emphasizes the importance of education and political participation as key factors in achieving freedom and citizenship for African Americans. He also highlights the ongoing struggles and injustices faced by the black community, and calls for continued activism and advocacy in the fight for equality.Overall, Freedom and Citizenship provides a valuable historical perspective on the challenges and achievements of African Americans during the Reconstruction era, and serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for civil rights and social justice in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
