Description
Encompassing a broad vary of African American voices, from Frederick Douglass to anonymous fugitive slaves, this collection collects eighty-9 outstanding documents that represent the most productive of the five-volume Black Abolitionist Papers. In these compelling texts African Americans tell their very own stories of the struggle to finish slavery and claim their rights as Americans, of the battle against colonization and the “back to Africa” movement, and in their troubled relationship with the government.
