Book Chapter
The Man and the Martyr
2021
Overview
In “The Man and the Martyr: Abraham Lincoln in African American History and Memory”, James Oliver Horton and Lois E. Horton sketch the evolving evaluations of the sixteenth president by such diverse black persons as H. Ford Douglas, Frederick Douglass, John Rock, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Keckley, Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, Martin Luther King Jr., and Lerone Bennett. Prior to issuing his final Emancipation Proclamation, men and women of color generally judged Lincoln “a conservative antislavery man,” who favored gradually emancipating the South's slaves, repatriating them abroad, and compensating their owners.
