Trey's TableTrey’s Table Episode 238: Isaiah MontgomeryTrey’s Table Episode 238: Isiah Montgomery Hello friends! Welcome to Trey’s Table. A podcast about African American history, politics, and culture. I’m your host Trey Smith. In 1890, Isaiah Montgomery was one of the few African-American delegates at the Mississippi Constitutional Convention.

On the other, he could support it, hoping to protect his community while sacrificing the political rights of Black Mississippians."
