Negro Equality
Summary
The Citizen cites an English newspaper which prints that the Negro population of Jamaica was given suffrage and equal rights but "it is absurd to confide any political power in their hands." The English paper says it was a mistake and that it should end. The Citizen suggests that "Negro equality fanatics" in the United States may be making the same mistake and warns against granting suffrage and equality.
