Partisan activities among African-Americans had roots in the Missouri Equal Rights League, formed in 1865 at the 8th Avenue Colored Baptist Church. Dedicated to allowing African-Americans to vote, it dissolved after passage of the 15th Amendment in 1870. Creators of the short-lived Liberty Party first met in St. Louis in the 1880s to form a new black national party. It held but one national convention to nominate a presidential candidate, coming to St. Louis in 1904. William T. Scott of East St. Louis and his running mate W.

This mingling of slave and free heightened the issue of the peculiar institution and its abolition. St. Louis was a major slave auctioning center during the 1850s, as buyers in the lower Mississippi River dealt with more than two dozen agents in the trade such as Corbin and Thompson on 6th between Pine and Chestnut. Its main competitor, Lynch's, operated its market on Locust on the current site of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, and a slave pen on Broadway adjacent to today's Busch Stadium. Some 2,000 hecklers shouted down auctioneers at a public sale on the steps of the Old Courthouse in 1861, stopping the practice for good in St. Louis.

It became an Urban League chapter in 1918, and started receiving Community Fund dollars four years later.

African-Americans in antebellum St. Louis needed licenses to live in the city, and were banned from voting or testifying against whites in court. While a "black aristocracy" of merchants and professionals existed here by the late 1850s, their lives were far more restrictive than those of their white counterparts. Blacks were subject to housing restrictions, curfews, bans on education, and prohibition from testifying in court against whites.

Some displaced residents moved to The Ville, others to the area between Delmar and Natural Bridge on both sides of Grand. This shift accelerated the black migration already in progress to University City, Wellston, and Pine Lawn. To accommodate the poorest displaced residents, the St. Louis Housing Authority continued to construct public housing on the north side-a decision reinforcing the racial segregation of the city. Sumner had graduated its first, albeit small, class five years before the St. Louis Board of Education accepted a request from black leaders to designate segregated schools by name rather than by a "Colored School" number.

For example, a fit and flare silhouette made out of soft, sweater-like material could be worn for a casual date or shopping trip.

The names commemorated prominent African-Americans both locally and nationally. Four years later it became the second local high school for African-American students. Soon after becoming pastor at First Baptist Church in 1827, former slave John Berry Meachum started a school for African-American children. Augustin Paris organized a school for black Catholic girls at 3rd and Poplar in 1845, mostly for daughters of free blacks. Southern rural blacks were attracted to many growing industrial centers by the lure of factory jobs. Detroit, Gary, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Akron, East St. Louis, and Buffalo were popular destination points.

African-Americans filled a local labor shortage in 1916 created by World War I, since European immigration came to a trickle. The same was true during World War II. Attracted by wartime production jobs such as those in the local small arms plant, the black population increased 41 percent during the war. Like European immigrants, these Exodusters were both pushed and pulled north. Troops would eliminate their rights or, worse yet, return them to slavery.

St. Paul's AME grew out of the African Methodist Church, for example, erecting its new building in 1872 at 11th and Lucas.

By 1909 there were nine black Freemasons chapters in the city, and the Negro Masonic Hall Association raised enough money to purchase its own building. The groups moved from their rented quarters to Easton Avenue (now Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard).
