The Ballotless Victim of One-Party Governments: The American Negro Academy, Occasional Papers No. 16

'The Ballotless Victim of One-Party Governments' is a political address by Archibald Henry Grimké, published in 1913. The work critiques the disenfranchisement of African Americans, particularly in the Southern United States, and examines the gap between legal rights and social realities. Grimké argues that the lack of suffrage renders African Americans powerless in a one-party system, emphasizing the need for political engagement to combat systemic injustices and protect civil rights. His insights remain relevant in contemporary discussions about race and democracy.
