DECEMBER 28, 1862:
In
anticipation of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation four days hence,
the African Salem Baptist Church of New Bedford Massachusetts hosts the
Reverend Henry W. Parker, an abolitionist, writer and Congregational minister
who speaks to the congregation on the subject of “The Despised Race.” To the
approval of the members present, Parker argues passionately that race matters
not in the eyes of God.
