Title: Congress - 14th Amendment 2nd section / Kemble.
Creator(s): Kemble, E. W. (Edward Windsor), 1861-1933, artist
Date Created/Published: [1902]
Summary: Cartoon shows Congress as a fat man asleep in a hammock labeled 'Law Enforcement.' A broken blunderbuss, labeled '14th Amendment, 2nd Section,' lies at his feet. A small black boy walks by holding a drum, but an elephant cautions, 'Don't wake him up!' The second section of the 14th Amendment provided for reducing a state's apportionment in Congress if the state prevented any male from voting for any reason other than participation in a rebellion or other crime. There was agitation by various black groups in the early years of the 20th Century to enforce it, but no serious attempts by the Republican-led Congress were made. Kemble was a prolific cartoonist and illustrator, best known for his portrayal of African Americans.
