he has forgotten about the continent. he was kidnapped so young, so we started reading. the people at that time started reading and getting their ideas. the founder of african american history month in his very edition prints canonical written by slavery because with the same as they were white people out there who fight against slavery. so his name benezet pops up everywhere. the next year in france and britain at that. in philadelphia they were reprints of this book because it shows importantly that abraham lincoln was the black people of freedom. of course we celebrate the emancipation proclamation. before him there were others and there were people like benjamin franklin benjamin rush, thomas clarkson and many others who took the ideas. so in fact, they deserve the great response. and i think that now we have seen the talk about them, a production made about him. we've seen a discussion and so is taken out this name every now and then to a person. benjamin rashid said it best. there were only a handful about three quarters of the prophet are with him. i think the maj
