For the most part, though, African-Americans were relegated to second-class members of the Republican Party in the decades after the Civil War. The great national exodus of black voters from the Party of Lincoln to that of Franklin Roosevelt occurred in 1932; in St. Louis politics, the process started a generation earlier. Democrats tried to court African-American voters when Jefferson Club president Henry Hawes formed the parallel Negro Jefferson Club. They both supported Democrat Rolla Wells for mayor in 1901, but black voters returned to the Republican fold in 1904 over unfulfilled promises and heavy courting by Roosevelt. J. D. Shelley and his family purchased a home at 4600 Labadie in 1939, within the boundaries set by the Association.

But all pointed to the truth of DuBois' assertion of a century ago, that the problem of the twentieth century has been the problem of the color line. Some displaced residents moved to The Ville, others to the area between Delmar and Natural Bridge on both sides of Grand. This shift accelerated the black migration already in progress to University City, Wellston, and Pine Lawn.

To accommodate the poorest displaced residents, the St. Louis Housing Authority continued to construct public housing on the north side-a decision reinforcing the racial segregation of the city. By 1909 there were nine black Freemasons chapters in the city, and the Negro Masonic Hall Association raised enough money to purchase its own building. The groups moved from their rented quarters to Easton Avenue (now Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Boulevard). Members of these lodges included some of the most prominent members of the local African-American community. The Masons helped black immigrants find jobs and places to live, offered needed relief, contributed to charities, backed education, and promoted the Horatio Alger-style values of honesty and good work.

The Missouri Republican responded by merely refusing to publish her fervently antislavery columns, but others took stronger action.

The Laclede Town development in the 1960s took the site, so the church moved to 1260 Hamilton Avenue. The first Roman Catholic church for a black congregation, St. Elizabeth's, opened the following year in the former Vinegar Hill Hall at 14th and Gay. Its Oblate Sisters of the Poor, an order for black nuns, opened a parish school in 1880, and published the Chronicle in the 1920s and 1930s. A growing black population in St. Louis required more and bigger churches.

Four years later it orchestrated election of Robert Scott as the city's first black ward committeeman. Turpin, Vaughn, Mitchell, and attorney Homer Phillips orchestrated the final bolt to the Democratic Party in St. Louis in 1934. By 1937, three in five black voters in St. Louis were Democrats. Since white residents came here from different parts of the country, political values clashed.

Public education, then, both reflected and reinforced racial segregation. Others worked through the legal system, hoping to find justice in the courts. Attorney Roswell Field (father of the famous children's writer Eugene Field) joined a team of lawyers in the late 1840s to represent Dred Scott, suing for his freedom. Peter Blow, Scott's owner, brought him to St. Louis in 1830, and later sold him to Dr. John Emerson at Jefferson Barracks.

Later that year, a pro-slavery mob attacked the paper's office and killed Lovejoy. A women's rights leader and writer in Ohio, Gage moved to St. Louis soon after chairing the 1853 National Women's Rights Convention in Cleveland. She wrote extensively on feminism and temperance in the 1840s and 1850s for regional, national, and agricultural papers. Horrified by slavery in Missouri, Gage directed her energies here toward abolition.

By the time those words appeared in The Souls of Black Folk the lines of segregation in America were drawn in thick, bold lines. Racial segregation was institutionalized in St. Louis by intent, accident, or benign neglect throughout its history, effecting the nature of race relations in the city today. Partisan activities among African-Americans had roots in the Missouri Equal Rights League, formed in 1865 at the 8th Avenue Colored Baptist Church. Dedicated to allowing African-Americans to vote, it dissolved after passage of the 15th Amendment in 1870. Creators of the short-lived Liberty Party first met in St. Louis in the 1880s to form a new black national party.
