| Popis: | When George Latimer fled Southern slavery in 1842, white abolitionists embraced the light-skinned fugitive as essentially white; yet when he died, though he had lived and worked in freedom for half a century, he was memorialized as a black slave. Such differing descriptions expose a radical transformation in the representation of black Americans across the nineteenth century. |
