When noted abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison recorded his impressions of the antislavery crusade, he gave special credit to the black speaker. He (Garrison and Garrison, 1887) said the most able speakers in the movement were fugitive slaves-your Douglasses, Browns, and Bibbs-who are astonishing all with the cogency of their words and the power of their reasoning. Frederick Douglass, William Wells Brown, and Henry Bibb are representative of a legion of black persuaders whose contribution to the antislavery movement has heretofore been obscured by the commanding figures of William Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips, and Theodore Weld (Litwack, 1961; Aptheker, 1941; Thorpe, 1961). The most important function of the black persuader was that of an antislavery lecturer, for 'eloquent' Negro speakers were able to draw 'in most places far larger' audiences that their white counterparts (Litwack, 1965; Dumond, 1961; Bardolph, 1959)
