Boon to Black Man! Abolition of Bar Rooms Sparked by Whisky
A late 19th century Atlanta discourse by Booker T. Washington cites progress for Black Americans and links temperance to the abolition of slavery.

The address traces regional hypocrisy from South Carolina to Georgia, urging reform and sobriety as pragmatic advances for freed people.
