Description:
Henry Highland Garnet launched the African Civilization Society in the fall of 1858 to promote black settlement in West Africa. Garnet (1815-1882) was a black Presbyterian minister and leader. Schor discusses Garnet's role in the vanguard of black abolitionists, explores his frequent disagreements with Frederick Douglass, and shows that though Garnet's views were ahead of his contemporaries, ' they were eventually adopted by them.
