William H. Fleming responds to the Augusta Herald editor’s criticism of his position on the disenfranchisement of African Americans. Fleming argues that denying qualified African Americans the right to vote in general elections is against the Constitution, and criticizes the editor’s stance that the state of Georgia should disenfranchise African American voters.
