Chapter 9 examines how Minnesota’s black political and business elite, in recognizing Washington’s power, embraces Washington’s agenda for Southern black advancement through accommodation while seeking to distance themselves from the widespread stereotype of “low class colored folks.” Adams’ Appeal becomes less strident in championing the rights of black Minnesotans.
