Assignment Forum 5

We are familiar with the names of Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass as being supporters and activists in the Abolitionist movement.  This week the forum will focus on both African American and non-African Americans who risked their lives, reputations and wealth to help free thousands of slaves.

Name and explain the contributions of three Abolitionists that supported and helped African Americans before the Civil War fight slavery?

Also I want to share a book written  during the 1830s against slavery by an Abolitionist..
