Benjamin Coates was one of the best-known white supporters of   African colonization in nineteenth-century America. A Quaker businessman   from Philadelphia and a sometime officer of the Pennsylvania Abolition   Society, he was committed to helping black Americans relocate to West   Africa. This put him at the center of a discourse with abolitionists at   home and abroad, including such leading thinkers as Joseph Jenkins Roberts,   Mary Ann Shadd Cary, Henry Highland Garnet, Frederick Douglass, Alexander   Crummell, George L. Stearns, and William Coppinger. Creative and restless,   cantankerous and charismatic, these men and women dominated the struggle to   end slavery and to achieve respect for African Americans. Back to   Africa sheds new light on these remarkable personalities and their   tireless efforts at reform.
