Overview
As he fought for equal rights in America, Pennington's voice was not limited to the preacher's pulpit. He wrote the first-ever "History of the Colored People" as well as a careful study of the moral basis for civil disobedience, which would be echoed decades later by Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. More than a century before Rosa Parks took her monumental bus ride, Pennington challenged segregated seating in New York City street cars, for which he was beaten and arrested.
American to the Backbone brings to life this fascinating, forgotten pioneer, who helped lay the foundation for the contemporary civil rights revolution and inspire generations of future leaders.
"Historical biography at its best. A must-read for anyone interested in African American studies and American religious history. This book is an important addition to the historiography of the pioneers of the anti-slavery and civil rights movements." Professor Sheryl A. Kujawa-Holbrook, Claremont School of Theology. The incredible story of a forgotten hero a former slave, Yale scholar, minister, and international leader of the abolitionist movement.| ISBN-13 | 9781605983882 |
