" —The New England Quarterly" . . . this work is a thoughtful, long overdue discourse on individual and group accomplishments. It is replete with absorbing illustrations, which when accompanied by insightful essays, depict the courage of those who labored for equality in antebellum Boston." —Journal of the Early RepublicUntil recently little was known of the contributions of African Americans in the antebellum abolition movement.
