| Summary | Annotation "Frontiers of Freedom: Cincinnati's Black Community, 1802-1868 traces the progress of the black community as it moved from alienation and vulnerability in the 1820s toward collective consciousness and, eventually, political self-respect and self-determination. As author Nikki M. Taylor points out, this was a community that at times supported all-black communities, armed self-defense, and separate, but independent, black schools. Black Cincinnati's strategies to gain equality and citizenship were as dynamic as they were effective. When the black community united in armed defense of its homes and property during an 1841 mob attack, it demonstrated that it was no longer willing to be exiled from the city as it had been after a similar attack in 1829."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
