From the 1820s to the Civil War, African Americans assumed prominent roles in the transatlantic struggle to abolish slavery.
The collection housed in the Special Collections library archives contains a wealth of materials that document the lives of some 300 black abolitionists, including some 14,000 documents, an extensive microfilm library, a clippings file and a library of scholarly books, articles and dissertations. The Black Abolitionist Digital Archive is a collection of over 800 speeches by antebellum blacks and approximately 1,000 editorials from the period.
