"If one stands in so intimate a relationship with a man as I do with Douglass, one comes to know facets of the whole world, of men + women, which would otherwise remain closed, especially if it is a man whom the entire world has seen + whom so many women have loved."

A 20 year friendship between Frederick Douglass & German born feminist, freethinker, + abolitionist Ottilie Assing was to end in tragedy. After learning that Douglass had married Helen Pitts, Assing killed herself by swallowing cyanide in a public park in Paris. As per her will all her letters with Douglass were burned. She bequeathed him ongoing income from a trust fund + his choice of books from her library.

“Love came to me, + I was not afraid to marry the man I loved because of his color”

Frederick Douglass & Helen Pitts married 2 years after the death of his 1st wife Anna. He was 66 + she, 46. They married amid a storm of controversy. Both families objected to the marriage. Douglass’ children felt his marriage was a repudiation of their African American mother. Pitts' family, alrhough friends to Douglass + abolitionists, stopped speaking to her. The couple remained married for 11 years, until his death in 1895.

BBC: Writer’s poems helped boost the abolition campaign. “Letters written by a prominent abolitionist are being digitised, filling in a ‘massive bit of the jigsaw’ in the abolition campaign history, experts say. Novelist Hannah More, born in Bristol in 1745, also helped open some of the UK’s first schools for working class people.”

Replicas of Abolition Era posters have been going up in New Bedford after ICE agents have appeared in the city.

Proud of this City's history of welcoming and protecting refugees!

Neste livro a autora de Onda Negra, Medo Branco dá continuidade aos seus estudos sobre a história da escravidão e da abolição através da comparação do abolicionismo nos Estados Unidos e no Brasil ao longo do século XIX. A história comparada do abolicionismo permite desvendar não só as ideologias com suas distintas imagens e proposições, como também as conexões entre abolicionistas americanos e brasileiros. O mito do paraíso racial brasileiro pode ser apreciado no seu próprio fazer através destes vínculos pessoais ou de influências recíprocas entre abolicionistas dos dois países, os quais por sua vez ressoavam diálogos com abolicionistas europeus. Do mesmo modo, pode-se perceber os diferentes significados que a Revolução do Haiti, a Guerra Civil Americana e a África suscitaram entre os abolicionistas, engendrando reflexões muito distintas sobre o destino do ex-escravo e o problema do racismo em cada país.
