In 1868, recently elected African American legislators faced imminent expulsion from the Georgia state legislature because of race. Speaking last, 34-year-old Bishop Henry McNeal Turner delivered a scathing denunciation of his opponents. His speech, entitled “I Claim the Rights of a Man,” is analyzed as an example of a jeremiad that did not fully use the rhetorical forms typical of the genre. Extending on the work of W. J. Moses (1982) and D. Howard-Pitney (1990), the author argues that Turner used many jeremiadic elements, including the categorical denunciation of the audience for morally abandoning God and the speaker's use of the prophetic voice. Other elements of the jeremiad were strategically omitted, including an explicit identification of the audience as a chosen people and an expression of optimism for a better future. The author concludes that Turner used the jeremiadic form effectively to convey his moral outrage and condemnation, while avoiding those generic elements that ran counter to his rhetorical purpose. |
