Title
A name given to the resource
Petit Jury Pool for the May 1867 session of the United States Circuit Court, District of Virginia
Subject
The topic of the resource
African Americans, civil rights
Description
An account of the resource
These two photographs show some of Virginia's first interracial jury members. In May 1867, the United States Circuit Court for the District of Virginia appointed a grand jury composed of African American and white men. The court also named African American and white men to the venire (jury pool) from which petit juries were named for trials held during the court's term. The twenty-four men in these photographs were members of the petit jury pool and many or all of them sat on trial juries between May and September 1867. These men have been sometimes mistakenly identified as either the grand jury or the petit jury for the trial of Jefferson Davis, but he was indicted by an jury composed of white men in 1866 and was released on bond in May 1867 and never tried.

<p>Section 1.</p>
<p>All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.</p>

<p>Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age,* and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.</p>

But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.</p>
<p>Section 4.</p>
<p>The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.</p>
