“From Frederick Douglass Paper. FREDERICK DOUGLASS: DEAR SIR:.” The Provincial Freeman, 13 Jan. 1855. From Accessible Archives \u00a9 2016 Accessible Archives Inc.<\/p><\/div>\n

Before, during, and after the 1854 National Emigration Convention, several women were actively devoted to racial uplift. They spoke out, conveyed their ideas, and pooled resources for the movement. For instance,\u00a0Mary Ann Shadd was instrumental to founding\u00a0Provincial Freeman<\/em>, proving to be an model example of just how influential and involved Black women were with the concerns of their communities.<\/p>\n

The January 13, 1855 issue of Provincial Freeman<\/em>, published nearly a year after the National Emigration Convention of \u201954, reprinted a piece from Frederick Douglass\u2019 Paper<\/em>. In the article, a concerned citizen named D. Jenkins addressed the popular topic of emigration. Jenkins recognized women\u2019s engagement in the emigration movement, especially those who were not in attendance at the Convention itself. It is noted in the article to the left that Shadd had arranged three lectures advocating for future emigrationist policies that would encourage a move to Canada. Jenkins noted of her,<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMs. Shadd took the ground that the people of color reach every station in the government that is now held by any class of the people which she said could not be had in the United States any where, some of which was mentioned, such as justices of the peace, stations in the army, and such like; and the reason that more were not filled by men of color, was incapability. I must say it is a great pity that women are not admitted in the Assembly of the law-making power.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In recognition of the power of the female voice, it is clear that Shadd\u2014often recognized as the first known Black woman editor\u2014understood the impact that she and other women held over the future of their nation and that of their race. Made evident by this article is the increasing reach of women, not only those who held positions inside of the \u201954 Emigration Convention, but also those who remained outside of it. The fact that a reader of the Frederick Douglass\u2019 Paper<\/em> took the time to respond to her argument exemplifies how impactful the female voice was during this time. Thus, the conversation of emigration remained active and vibrant long after the \u201954 Convention had ended.<\/p>\n

Here is another example of the attention given to women as related to the concerns of emigration. In this advertisement for a newly released guidebook called The Female Emigrant\u2019s Guide<\/em>, women are provided \u201chints on Canadian housekeeping,\u201d which not only encouraged an emigrationist ideal, but also exemplified one role that women could play in the new colony: that of a housewife. This article is a window into conversations going on in 1854 leading up to and following the National Emigration Convention. Published in the Provinicial Freeman<\/em>, this ad also emphasized the emigrationist desires of Mary Ann Shadd, who championed the idea of emigrating from the U.S. to Canada. This ad showed an encouraging voice for female readers who\u2014as recognized by this very advertisement\u2014played their own role in the possible future of emigration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
