Little Known Black History Fact: Virginia’s Black Delegates
For a short time following the Civil War, African-Americans in
the state of Virginia were granted the right to run for office and
vote for delegates under the new reconstruction law. Freed
slaves in Hampton lined up from sun-up to sundown at the
polls to vote. In 1867, 92 percent of eligible freed blacks voted
that year for the 24 black delegates on the ballot. Only 66
percent of the voters were white.
The diversity of the delegates was surprising for the time period. There were 17 farmers,
16 ministers, 9 shoemakers, 8 teachers, 6 lawyers, 3 blacksmiths, 2 brick masons and a
boatman. One of the delegates was Haitian and bilingual.
Many of the voting practices we use today were established during the time that black
delegates pressed to change the rules. Those include voting by secret ballot, which
eliminated oral voting. Back then, voter intimidation was strongly discouraged.
Interestingly, the first arguments were raised for racially integrated school systems in the
state of Virginia.
Among the strong delegates were men like Dr. Thomas Bayne, a former slave, minister
and dentist who was a favorite for office among blacks. Bayne was a former conductor
of the Underground Railroad and in favor of the state tax reform. It was Bayne that
pressed for school integration. He finished ahead of three white candidates in the 1867
election.
Another delegate was Miles Connor, a farmer who many blacks sought for literacy
purposes. Connor could read and write so many went to him for correspondence
assistance. Connor’s platform was racial equality, establishment of fraternities and
education reform. Connor served from 1875-1877.
The Hodges family had three family members in the Assembly: Charles Hodges,
William Hodges and John Hodges. The men were born free but helped slaves escape via
Underground Railroad until they were discovered by patrols. They fled to New York
where they worked as abolitionists before returning to Virginia. Collectively the Hodges’
delegates worked for the black community of Virginia, lobbying for fishing and hunting
areas for the freed blacks and establishing schools in the community.
African-American voters never held the majority so the presence of delegates slowly
declined. By 1890, there were no longer black delegates in the Assembly. Shortly
following the elimination, laws were placed to ensure blacks lost their voting power and
Jim Crow set in throughout the country. It wasn’t until 1967 that blacks were back in
office for elections.
If upcoming planning efforts hold, two plaques will be hung in the Virginia State Capitol
to commemorate the brief yet strong voting period of blacks in Virginia, mid-19th
century.

ZION HISTORY QUIZ Part II
Q1: In what year was Little Zion Baptist Church rebuilt on its present Zion Drive site and dedicated with a new sanctuary renamed Greater Little Zion Baptist Church?
Q2: How many ministers have served the Zion congregation in its 125 years of existence, and how many of that number are surviving?
The answers will be in next week’s bulletin.
Here are the answers to last week’s quiz: A1: Rev. Lewis Henry Bailey, a former slave who was freed at the age of 21 years, served the
congregation from 1891 to 1931. It was recorded that he mortgaged his home for $50.00 to pay the builder and buy the building materials needed to build the church. Rev. Bailey founded several
churches in Virginia, one of which is the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Occoquan, Virginia.
A2: Mother Romaine Brown, Mother Dolores Dennie, and Mother Thelma Jeffrey
