What the national government is doing for our colored boys. The new system of slavery in the South. Two sermons delivered at the Israel C.M.E. church, Washington, D.C., by its pastor, Rev. S.B. Wallace, M.D., August 19 and September 9, 1894.

Wallace, Samuel B.

CREATED/PUBLISHED
[Washington, Jones, printer, 1894]

SUMMARY
Wallace was pastor of the Ireal Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in Washington, DC. Both sermons intermix politics and religion, one of Wallace's basic convictions being the interrelationship between church and state. In the first sermon, Wallace finds the US government doing nothing to increase opportunities for recognition and advancement of the nation's black youth, who consequently lack patriotism. In the second sermon, Wallace denounces the system of southern justice and racial prejudice that fills southern prisons with innocent African American men.

NOTES
Third sermon, "God's method for elevating the American negro": p. [40]-56.
