Smith and Garnet's achievements were near-miraculous in a nation that refused to acknowledge black talent or potential. The sons of enslaved mothers, these schoolboy friends would go on to travel the world, meet Revolutionary War heroes, publish in medical journals, address Congress, and speak before cheering crowds of thousands. The lessons they took from their days at the New York African Free School #2 shed light on how antebellum Americans viewed black children as symbols of America's possible future. The story of their lives, their work, and their friendship testifies to the imagination and activism of the free black community that shaped the national journey toward freedom. 600 10 $a Garnet, Henry Highland, $d 1815-1882. 600 10 $a Smith, James McCune, $d 1813-1865. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $z Africa $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Antislavery movements $z United States $x History. 610 20 $a New-York African Free-School $x History. 610 20 $a American Colonization Society $x History. 650 0 $a Slavery $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Free blacks $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a African American intellectuals $v Biography. 651 0 $a New York (State) $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 19th century. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 7 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314021009.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331013929.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829015100.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20200807011333.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200402014325.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200303014937.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200122010051.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC4472143CE411EA98AC0E4997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
