Rael examines antebellum black protest thought in the North and its contribution to black self-definition in America. He shows how black leaders transcended class and other divisions among themselves to challenge racial inequality by drawing on such cherished American values as equality of opportunity, universal suffrage, and moral and civic virtue.
