Wallace was pastor of the Isreal Colored Methodist Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C. Both sermons intermix politics and religion, one of Wallace's basic convictions being the interrelationship between church and state. In the first sermon, Wallace finds the U.S. government doing nothing to increase opportunities for recognition and advancement of the nation's black youth, who consequently lack patriotism. In the second sermon, Wallace denounces the system of southern justice and racial prejudice that fills southern prisons with innocent African American men.
