With its historical heft and excellent prose, this book deserves to be the reference book for all things related to nineteenth-century Black activism.--Erica Armstrong Dunbar, Rutgers University
This collection of essays offers an exciting, original rethinking of nineteenth-century Black political thought that resonates with the justice movements of our own time.--Sharla Fett, Occidental College
Through these essays, the editors masterfully portray the CCP's aim to realize the linkages of Black intellectual work and social activism that the conventions represented, individually and sequentially, in the 19th century. . . . A must for all students, researchers, and general readers with an interest in Black lives, this essential overview of the CCP's legacy offers fresh understanding of the history of organized Black activism and commitment to community efforts for equal rights. Highest recommendation.--Library Journal, starred review
