Great questions at the #MASCSymposium. RJ @boutelly asks about how @marthasjones_'s attn. to Black alternative methods of legal training outside of law school recalls the ways in which Black memory work takes place outside of traditional archives.
@marthasjones_ Closes by noting the important opportunity we have to understand Shadd's role in the early debates about Constitutional rights in the 1860s and beyond.
#MASCSymposium
@marthasjones_ Shadd brings her Constitutional thinking to the topic of women's rights by framing the terms of DC laws as discriminatory.
She argued for DC self-governance, invoking the principles of the "Founders" she had earlier included in the Prof Freeman
#MASCSymposium
@marthasjones_ Shadd in the 1860s urged Congress to remove the word "male" from the laws about voting rights in DC "without delay."
#MASCSymposium
@marthasjones_ It's a mistake to ascribe Shadd Cary's legal insights about the Constitution only to her time in law school. She brought her longstanding legal acumen to the (unpopular) topic of women's rights at Howard Law.
#MASCSymposium
@marthasjones_ Shadd asks: when are Black Americans in the US going to recognize the ways in which the weight of Constitutional interpretation are working increasingly against them?
Shadd sees lots of false hope. She believed emigration was inevitable.
#MASCSymposium
@marthasjones_ Shadd Cary is an interesting, complicated thinker in the moment of Dred Scott. Her pro-emigration politics meant that she drew sometimes from narrow interpretations of the Constitution.
#MASCSymposium
@marthasjones_ The Provincial Freeman followed the Dred Scott case & constitutional arguments over birthright citizenship in new states & territories

*Black editors* such as Mary Ann Shadd Cary "walk readers through constitutional structures." @marthasjones_ shows how MASC was effectively teaching *before* going to @howardlawschool. Fascinating disc. of Black newspaper audiences being in legal training! #MASCSymposium
@marthasjones_ After the Fugitive Slave Law in 1850, Shadd Cary pointed to precedents of federal law enforcing slavery in places like Ohio & Kentucky.
#MASCSymposium
@marthasjones_ Shadd covered debates in California, Indiana, and other places where state rights prohibited Black rights and freedom of mobility.
Did the Constitution guarantee states would reciprocate the rights of other states?
"Not so for Black citizens."
#MASCSymposium
@marthasjones_ Shadd's taught her readers about the concepts of "Originalism" & Federalism to her readers.
Shadd Cary insisted that the principles of Federalism were a major obstacle to reckoning with slavery.
#MASCSymposium
@marthasjones_ Shadd drew from a wide variety of anti-slavery thinkers & sources in the Provincial Freeman.
Shadd showed the different interpretations of the Constitution to her readers to make a powerful claim about the nature of the nation itself.
#MASCSymposium
@marthasjones_ In the Provincial Freeman, Shadd Cary also asked: what happens when natural law runs afoul of the US Constitution?
#MASCSymposium
@marthasjones_ In the Prov Freeman, Shadd Cary showed how Southern enslavers saw the Constitution as justifying the institution of slavery.
