1. NEGRO SECRET SOCIETIES.

Author

Subjects

Abstract

The efforts of Negroes to adjust to their minority status have manifested themselves in many collective endeavors. The present paper proposes to make a beginning toward filling the gap by sketching briefly the origins and functions of fraternal organizations among Negroes. One of them is the secret society. A careful study of the Negro secret society as an institution will throw much light on the processes of acculturation and assimilation. The numerous Negro secret societies in the United States are now and always have been almost exclusively ceremonial, i.e. lodges and fraternal orders. There never has been a Negro secret society which even slightly resembled the Ku Klux Klan. The abortive slave insurrections, even one so carefully planned as Denmark Vesey's, were never made under the banner of a secret society. The first secret society in the United States which emphasized benevolent features was the Odd Fellows. The Odd Fellows merely introduced Negroes to the secrecy feature of benevolent organizations, for people of color had been organizing friendly societies since 1787.
