Illustrated by
Donald A. Smith.
This well-researched book contains biographical snapshots of fourteen antislavery pioneers, including John Brown, Lucretia Mott, Harriet Tubman, and Denmark Vesey.

Smith's illustrations complement the text and highlight the resolve of these resourceful women and men. Bib.
