An Address to Free Coloured Americans

Written in 1837, this work insists that discrimination against black people is a prejudice that must be fought and presents various steps that should be taken to do the same. Excerpt "The sympathy we feel for our oppressed fellow-citizens who are enslaved in these United States, has called us together, to devise by mutual conference the best means for bringing our guilty country to a sense of her transgressions; and to implore the God of the oppressed to guide and bless our labors on behalf of our "countrymen in chains.""
