Petition #10582301

Abstract

Noting that in the past they were "in the habit of enjoying the same privelages" as white inhabitants of the area, free blacks seek rights as "Citizens of the United States." The restrictions against their being able to assemble or walk the streets after nine o'clock in the evening, they said, were unfair.

Result: Referred to committee on slaves.
