Julian T. Bailey Explained
Julian Talbot Bailey (born March 22, 1859) was an African-American lawyer, educator, journalist, newspaper editor, publisher, and civil rights advocate in Arkansas.[1] [2] [3] [4]
Bailey was born in Warren County, Georgia.[5] He graduated from Howard University and became a teacher. He served as president of Bethel University from 1886 to 1887.[6]
In 1891, he was admitted to the bar and established The Sun newspaper in Little Rock.[7]
He was quoted as saying, "Since the negro and the southern white man were reared together, by voting alike I thought the objectionable race prejudice would readily come to a close. We are all here and what is one's interest is the others."
An engraving was made of him that is held in the collection of the New York Public Library.[8]
