Abstract:
Hammonds Hill Equal rights League was established in Edgecombe County in November 1866 as an outgrowth of the Freedmen's Convention in Raleigh in October 1866. The organization sought to counter citizenship limitations on African Americans then being imposed by the N.C. legislature, which had fallen back under control of pre-Civil War political forces. Hammond's League may be one of the best documented of its kind in North Carolina. A commemorative historical marker was dedicated in November 2023.
