Acting as Freemen”: Rhetoric, Race, and Reform in the Debate over Colonization in Freedom's Journal , 1827–1828
This essay features a debate in Freedom's Journal, the first African-American newspaper, in 1827 and 1828, concerning the proposals of the American Colonization Society.

Because the controversy explicitly connects questions about race and cult…

Reinventing the master's tools: Nineteenth‐century African‐American literary societies of Philadelphia and rhetorical education
Antebellum African‐American literary societies in Philadelphia promoted rhetorical education and gave members the opportunity to craft powerful arguments. This study investigates the presence of the Anglo‐American rhetorical tradition—particularly eighteenth‐century Scots principles of Blair, Smith, and Campbell—in six representative speeches delivered at literary society meetings. Our analysis focuses on two major issues: 1) the influence of tra…
