Discuss historian Nikki Taylor's biography of the radical life of Peter H. Clark.NOTE: This discussion will be ONLINE. RSVP through Eventbrite to be sent the link.
In pursuit of his foremost goal, full and equal citizenship for African Americans, Peter Humphries Clark (1829-1925) defied easy classification. He was, at various times, the country's first black socialist, a loyal supporter of the Republican Party, and an advocate for the Democrats.
A pioneer educational activist, Clark led the fight for African Americans' access to Ohio's public schools and became the first black principal in the state. Though Clark influenced a generation of abolitionists and civil rights activists, he is virtually forgotten today. America's First Black Socialist draws upon speeches, correspondence, and outside commentary to provide a balanced account of this neglected and misunderstood figure. (Kentucky Press)
