Spelman's Race

Curious to know if Spelman was himself African-American, as it is never explicitly stated in the text. Usually such information can be gleaned from the "Early Life" section, but no such luck in this article. Since his picture is only a black and white drawing, no definitive conclusions can be made. If someone knows, please edit the article accordingly. Thank you. 66.91.36.8 (talk) 22:41, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Elector Eligibility

According to another Wikipedia article, Spelman's eligibility as a presidential elector in the election of 1872 was questioned. On what grounds were these concerns raised? What are/were the qualifications for presidential electors? Anyone with more information, please edit and add the relevant text. Thank you. 66.91.36.8 (talk) 22:46, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
