In the early United States, the emancipated British Caribbean colonies often entered into debates over abolition in America. This was a public discourse, created by Black and white abolitionists, but African Americans more generally, as both propaganda and rhetoric. In their vocal defense of freedom in the British West Indies, African Americans also spoke in defense of themselves, deploying arguments that reflected themes of liberty, equality, and citizenship in the broader Atlantic. Please join the Library Company for this installment annual Black History Month program series!
