Black Abolitionism: A Quest for Human Dignity"Black Abolitionism reveals how the black abolitionist movement was a powerful force in eliminating slavery. Even more significant, it was also an independent movement "distinct from and parallel with the larger white abolitionist movement." Its primary goal was to seek full human dignity and justice for black people, going far beyond the elimination of slavery."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
