A biographical history of influential African American pioneers and freedom fighters in the Midwest, including Sara Jane Woodson, Peter Clark, and Dred Scott.
Publisher's Notes
Here a respected researcher tells the story of the free Blacks and escaped slaves who joined white pioneers in settling the Midwest. Although freedom was proclaimed for all, Blacks soon found that the new territories created laws to limit them. In every territory from Ohio to Kansas, these pioneers created their own communities, founded churches and schools, helped escaping slaves reach freedom, and organized to protest the limits on their rights.
