Voices for Suffrage. New Tactics for a New Generation, 1890–1915 CFEE Timeline. Untitled. On July 4, 1870 – 150 years ago this week – Republican Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts urged the U.S.
Senate to take a radical step: to strike out the word “white” from the nation’s naturalization laws. Since 1790, only “free white persons” who immigrated to the United States could become U.S. citizens. How could such a law stand, Sumner demanded, in light of the Declaration of Independence and its vow “that all men are created equal and endowed with inalienable rights”?

Many Americans blamed the riots on outside agitators or young black men, who represented the largest and most visible group of rioters.

Untitled. If Abraham Lincoln was, in historian James McPherson’s apt words, a “reluctant” revolutionary, Thaddeus Stevens was an eager one.
“There was in him,” Frederick Douglass said of the Radical Republican and Pennsylvania congressman, “the power of conviction, the power of will, the power of knowledge, and the power of conscious ability,” qualities that “at last made him more potent in Congress and in the country than even the president and cabinet combined.” An ardent believer in the “free labor” capitalist society then developing in the US North, Stevens strove throughout his life both to assist that economic system’s growth and to rid it and the nation as a whole of “every vestige of human oppression” and “inequality of rights.”
At the national level, he worked above all to outlaw the ownership of human beings that was central to the economy, social relations, and politics of the Southern states.

11 takeaways from this month’s Spotlight series on race in Boston. The Spotlight Team recently took on one of the hardest questions facing this city: Does Boston deserve its racist reputation?
The team’s ambitious seven-part series, “Boston.Racism.Image.Reality,” found that the answer is both complicated and sometimes quite discouraging. While the team uncovered signs of progress, it also found striking inequality between blacks and whites in Greater Boston as well as signs of discrimination. Here are 11 takeaways from the stories and the facts behind them: 1) Boston really does have a racist reputation.

By virtually every measure, there is a yawning gap between black and white households in the metro area. 3) Greater Boston is whiter than most other major metro areas.
