Preface and Acknowledgments
Lydia Maria Child's Appeal in Favor of That Class of Americans Called Africans (1833) fittingly made its initial comeback at the height of the Civil Rights movement, when direct action against racism by masses of African Americans and whites revived memories of the interracial struggle against slavery that had culminated a century earlier in the passage of the nation's first civil rights legislation. Published in 1963, the year of Martin Luther King's March on Washington, The Abolitionists: A Collection of Their Writings, edited by Louis Ruchames, included a long extract from the final chapter of the Appeal: "Prejudices Against People of Color, and Our Duties in Relation to This Subject." That extract, with its bold call for ending all forms of racial discrimination, from employment bans and segregated schools to antimiscegenation laws, introduced me to Lydia Maria Child. Soon afterward, the Appeal became available to the public in its entirety, along with many other abolitionist works in the Arno Press and New York Times reprint series.
Though most of the legal and extralegal discriminatory practices cataloged by Childstill prevalent at the start of the Civil Rights movementhave now gone the way of slavery, the Appeal remains as timely today as in the 1960s. Institutional racism and socioeconomic barriers continue to operate against the advancement of African Americans, keeping the number in poverty (and in prison) disproportionately high, the number in college and in the liberal professions disproportionately low. Antiblack violence of the type Child observed in northern cities persists. The myths of black intellectual inferiority that Child refuted so incisively a century and a half ago reemerge in pseudoscientific garb with depressing regularity, hailed by an avid public in each incarnation, as the best-seller status achieved by
