- W48289224 abstract "In March 1897, Charles W. Anderson requested that Levi P. Morton, New York's Republican Governor, appoint John Edward Bruce a minor political post. Anderson, a respected Black Republican stalwart, had been a member of New York Republican State Committee for sixteen years and was a primary dispenser of Black political patronage in New York City. If Anderson gave his seal of approval a Black nominee, white politicians usually fell in line. This appointment, however, was somewhat different, and Morton's aides encouraged him be cautious.(2)Bruce was an ambitious forty-one-year-old man, of dark brown complexion, just under six foot tall, with a prominent mustache, penetrating eyes, a confident persona that intimidated his peers, and had a preference for Havana cigars. An established journalist, Bruce was by one author be the prince of Afro-American correspondents. His articles, well-known in Black community, caught attention of white readers as well. In addition, he was active in Prince Hall Masons, Afro-American League, and African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and he was a charter member of American Negro Academy, a newly formed organization led by Rev. Alexander Crummell of Washington, D.C. These were notable accomplishments for a former slave with a third-grade education.

His journalistic career and community activities punctuated an avid interest in African American history. This passion, inspired by Pan-African advocates whom had he met during his youth, dominated Bruce's intellectual life from 1876 his death.(7) Through these contacts he developed an international network of political and intellectual resources.
