Synopsis

This book is an 1833 letter in which the author takes the opportunity to respond to opposition to a school designed for girls of African descent. By doing so, the author endeavors to further the cause of equality by taking on the views that Black people are inferior and cannot achieve educational success. The author also discusses the founding of the school, its goals, as well as its opposition. With a measured tone, the author addresses such concerns with a blend of religious principles and rational arguments. The letter is an important contribution to the history of the fight for equal rights in this country and offers insights into the arguments for and against those efforts.
