Slavery and the Making of America offers a richly illustrated, vividly written history that illuminates the human side of this inhumane institution, presenting it largely through stories of the slaves themselves. Readers will discover a wide ranging and sharply nuanced look at American slavery, from the first Africans brought to British colonies in the early seve…
"What Business has the World With the Color of My Wife?" A Letter From Frederick Douglass
In this 1884 letter to an old friend, Frederick Douglass touches on key moments, both hopeful and discouraging, in his experience of post-Civil War America. He reveals to Amy Post his frustration with the public reaction to his recent marriage to Helen Pitts, a white woman. (His first wife, Anna Murray Douglass, a black woman, had died in 1882.) Amy Post and her husband Isaac were Quaker abolitionists active in the underground railroad. They had …

He had volunteered a troop of 700 Boston area blacks to help quell a rebellion of western Massachusetts farmers led by Daniel Shays during the economic turmoil in the uncertain period following independence. Many African Americans had fought for America’s liberty and their own in the Rev…

A Usable Past
At 4:15 p.m. on Sunday February 11, 1990, antiapartheid activist Nelson Mandela walked out of South Africa's Victor Verster Prison Farm a free manor, more correctly, a free black man. As a number of American news commentators noted at the time, Mandela's 10,000 day incarceration may have ended, but for the immediate future he would be obliged to continue viewing the world through the bars of what Ronald Takaki has termed iron cages of race.

As the home of William Lloyd Garrison and his Liberator and such nationally prominent reformers as Wendell Phillips and Charles Sumner, Boston had a well-deserved reputation for being one of the most liberal cities in the country.
