The race problem: great speech of Frederick Douglass, delivered before the Bethel Literary and Historical Association, in the Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, Washington, D.C., October 21, 1890

In this speech, the elder Douglass reacts to southern "Resurrectionists" and their attempts to deprive southern blacks of their recently won civil rights. He examines the so-called "Negro problem" in this light and expresses his faith that the federal government will continue to enforce civil rights for African Americans in the South.
