No peace until the suffrage question is settled : black politics in the age of Reconstruction

Vote, that the work might be finished : black electoral politics and the presidential election of 1872

You will find the colored voters on the Butler ship this fall : urban politics and conflicts over African American partisanship

A recognized and respected part of the body politic : Grover Cleveland and pursuit of patronage

For Ireland's cause : black and Irish political coalition building

Let us grow strong by organization and earnest cooperation : anti-lynching and independent politics in an era of mass organizing
