Petition for the Colored People of Philadelphia to Ride in the Cars, 1860s

PETITION FOR THE COLORED PEOPLE OF PHILADELPHIA TO RIDE IN THE CARS, 1860S* P hiladelphia in the 1860s had a substantial African American population. They were not, however, treated as equals of the white population. For example, they were not permitted to ride inside the streetcars, which were run by privately-owned companies. Because African Americans also did not have the franchise to vote, actions on their behalf had to be undertaken by sympathetic whites. The efforts to desegregate the streetcars began in 1861. It included ballots handed out to white streetcar riders and the petition below. It ended, finally, with an action by the Pennsylvania legislature in March 1867.1 THE PETITION Petition for the Colored People of Philadelphia to Ride in the Cars. To the Board of Managers of the various City Passenger Cars. The Colored Citizens of Philadelphia suffer very serious inconvenience and hardship, daily, by being excluded from riding in the City Passenger Cars. In New York City, and in all the principal Northern Cities, except Philadelphia, they ride; even in New Orleans, (although subject to some proscription,) they ride in the cars; why then should they be excluded in Philadelphia, in a city standing so pre-eminently high for its Benevolence, Liberality, Love of Freedom, and Christianity as the City of Brotherly Love! Colored people pay more taxes here than is paid by the same class in any other Northern City. The members of the “Social and Statistical Association,” although numbering less than fifty members, pay annually about Five Thousand Dollars into the Tax Collector’s Office. Therefore, the undersigned respectfully petition that the various Boards of the City Passenger Cars rescind the rules indiscriminately excluding colored persons from the inside of the Cars. The petition has 363 signature lines.2 Two are crossed out as duplicates; three are in the name of business partnerships; one is in the name of a company. Names and addresses were compared to Philadelphia city * Petition for the Colored People of Philadelphia to Ride in the Cars, Society Collection, Miscellaneous, Petitions, Box 3b, Historical Society of Pennsylvania. The petition is a scroll made of a number of sheets glued together. The first several feet of the scroll have been removed, encapsulated and are stored separately in a flat file. 1 See Eric Klinek, “ ‘To petition the Government for a redress of grievances’,” Legacies 8(May 2008):3—5. This publication is received by members of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania. 2 The article (note 1) says there are 369 signatures; it is not known if a portion of scroll is missing.

Some signers had businesses in downtown Philadelphia, but resided out from the city, in Germantown or New Jersey. As noted below, some of the signers did not appear at the address listed until 1863—1865; some did not appear at all until one of those later years. This suggests that at least portions of the petition, which has traditionally been dated to June 1862, may be from 1863 or 1864. In the transcription below, occupational information (and a full name if the signer used initials) have been added to the signatures and addresses of the petition. Signers included a variety of merchants, large and small; doctors, lawyers, and dentist; ministers; gentlemen [which usually meant someone who was retired]; a few bankers and officers of railroads; publishers and booksellers; plus a few of lowlier status.
