"Editorial: Mr. Lincoln and Negro Equality– 4-5 "

This editorial begins with an apparently fake-quote from Lincoln dated to September 1858, in which Lincoln supposedly says negroes should be treated equally, as other citizens.
It then contrasts that fake-quote with known actual quotes in which Lincoln said the opposite.
Those are the quotes which could get Lincoln's name removed from schools in San Francisco.

The reality in 1860 -- Crazy Roger Taney's Dred Scott ruling notwithstanding -- was that African Americans could already vote in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
In New York some blacks could vote.
So issues of black equality were already being addressed in 1858, the time of Lincoln's actual & alleged quotes, and the question then was: should such equality be expanded to Illinois?
In the fake-quote Lincoln says "yes", in actual quote, "no".

Ironically, of course, it was Lincoln's actual change of heart from "no" to "yes" which so enraged a Maryland actor he determined to take drastic actions against Lincoln in 1865.
