The Fourteenth Amendment
By 1902, African Americans had become increasingly frustrated with the federal government's unwillingness to enforce the second section of the Fourteenth Amendment, which called for reducing a state's apportionment in Congress when the state prevented any male from voting. Cartoonist Edward Windsor Kemble blames the Republican Party, as represented by its signature elephant, for counseling African Americans, represented by a small child, not to wake up Congress in their agitation to enforce the Fourteenth Amendment. |
