Emancipation of the Negro: 50th Anniversary Pennant. 10½" x 30" silk-screened felt pennant with portraits of Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass and Giles B. Jackson, inscribed: "Emancipation of the Negro July 4th to 27th 1915 Richmond, Va."

After the war, he was taught to read and write, was tutored in a law office and, in 1887, became the first African American attorney certified to argue before the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. He founded a bank and was an aide to Booker T. Washington. Toward the end of his life, he unsuccessfully lobbied for a Congressional bill addressing interracial labor problems. Fading with several areas of loss backed with patches. Framed to an overall size of 16 ½" x 38 ½".
