- Synopsis
- In this biography of Richard Allen, founder of the first major African-American church and the leading black activist of the early American republic, Newman describes Allen's continually evolving life and thought, setting both in the context of his times. From Allen's early antislavery struggles and belief in interracial harmony to his later reflections on black democracy and black emigration, Newman traces Allen's impact on American reform and reformers.
