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.

At the same time of party wrangling and battling segregated housing ordinances, black civil rights organizations were evolving. The Committee for Social Services Among Colored People organized in 1910-the same year as the Urban League nationally-as the first interracial group in the city. 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.

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.

Pro-slavery folk encouraged the slave trade, supported the 1847 ban on educating African-Americans, and may have even owned slaves. A group of them lynched mulatto Francis McIntosh12 in 1836, tying him to a tree and burning him alive. Abolitionists ran newspapers and aided fugitives fleeing to freedom.

A women's rights leader and writer in Ohio, Gage moved to St. Louis soon after chairing the 1853 National Women's Rights Convention in Cleveland. She wrote extensively on feminism and temperance in the 1840s and 1850s for regional, national, and agricultural papers. Horrified by slavery in Missouri, Gage directed her energies here toward abolition. The Missouri Republican responded by merely refusing to publish her fervently antislavery columns, but others took stronger action. Accessorizing women's dresses helps to make them more versatile.

A mix of homes, tenements, shops, saloons, dance halls, and night clubs gave the area a special character. Its population grew markedly after World War II, as black population in the city surged. The St. Louis electorate passed a bond issue in 1954 to redevelop the area. Some 20,000 people lived from Market and Vandeventer to the Mississippi River, and between 20th and Grand, extending south from Olive to the railroad tracks; 95 percent of them were black. Demolition of the area began in 1959 to make way for Laclede Town, Grand Towers, the Ozark Expressway , and a 22-acre extension by the St. Louis University onto the Civil War-era Camp Jackson site.

Finally Scruggs, Vandevoort, and Barney gave in and opened its lunch counter to blacks in 1945-but not its more posh main dining room. All eating establishments in department stores were gradually desegregated during the 1950s with help from the Congress of Racial Equality .

E. B. DuBois in The Souls of Black Folk in 1903, "is the problem of the color line." The words of the great African-American writer on race relations was as much a statement of historical trend as prophecy. By the time those words appeared in The Souls of Black Folk the lines of segregation in America were drawn in thick, bold lines. Racial segregation was institutionalized in St. Louis by intent, accident, or benign neglect throughout its history, effecting the nature of race relations in the city today.
