Letters, 1904-1912
Scope and Contents
The collection is made up of fifty-seven letters written by Manning that show his efforts to stop the disenfranchisement of the African American voter in the Republican Party of Alabama in the early twentieth century. Most of the letters are written to Captain Charles H. Scott of Montgomery. While some are written on Southern American letterhead (the newspaper Manning helped begin), many of the letters are written on the versos of copies of broadsides published at the time.
