From the first African American Governor--
Governor
P.B.S. Pinchback, “When a people become so familiar with crime as to
seek to defend it, and ridicule all attempts to repress it, it becomes
incumbent on us to notice to where we are drifting. The right of free
speech and to bear arms were held so dear by the fathers of our land
that they deemed them important enough to throw around them the organism
of protection by the constitution. . . . Whereas the colored people . .
. do not possess the arms wherewith to defend themselves, for the
reason that they have been taken away from them by force. What can they
do to help them selves? Positively nothing….”, Aug. 25, 1876
Well, mr. 'obama', how does it feel destroying all of the work that the other African-American's that were "first" in their political offices had done?
