September 3, 1868 Henry McNeal Turner a newly elected state representative in Georgia took the floor to address the legislature. In a single motion the entirety of Black Senators and Congressmen had been boldly expelled. He asserted that the Black elected officials were not on trial, but God himself for the error of making them Black. A stirring speech which I did my best to replicate. I hope you will enjoy this rendering.
