Review

"The book's greatest strength is that it situates the activism of New York's black abolitionists in the larger abolition movement. It is particularly nice to see prominent African Americans chronicled in a single book. Additionally, this work will make it easier for both secondary and college-level instructors to teach about the importance of African-American abolitionists in helping to put an end to slavery." -- Jane Dabel, author of A Respectable Woman: The Public Roles of African American Women in 19th-Century New York
