The social history of Henry's life in slavery and freedom includes a letter from John Brown in 1859 as a "trusty man." He narrowly escaped arrest and fled north . Libby transcribed the narrative from nearly illegible type and documented and illustrated the events over a period of years that included specific university study at the University of California (B.A. 1986) and San Francisco State University (1991). First published by the University Press of Mississippi with a foreword by Edward C. Papenfuse, Maryland State Archivist, copyright assigned to Jean Libby. The reprint edition is scanned from the original and formatted with its original paging, printed and spiral bound in letter-size sheets. An 1830s original drawing of the Antietam Iron Works is contributed to the 2020 reprint edition by the current owners Wayne and Gayle McCrossin of Sharpsburg, Maryland. The National Archives and Records Administration recently published a notice from the African American press of a search by Rev. Thomas Henry for his son Rousbey, or Asberry, sold from Hagerstown in 1838. Original maps and site visits by documentary author Jean Libby make this publication valuable, according to reviews by Library Journal and Cambridge University.

Book excerpt: Gold Winner of the 2008 Foreword Magazine Book of the Year Award, Biography Category Brings to life the inspiring story of one of America's Black Founding Fathers, featured in the forthcoming documentary The Black Church: This is Our Story, This is Our Song Freedom's Prophet is a long-overdue biography of Richard Allen, founder of the first major African American church and the leading black activist of the early American republic. A tireless minister, abolitionist, and reformer, Allen inaugurated some of the most important institutions in African American history and influenced nearly every black leader of the nineteenth century, from Douglass to Du Bois. Born a slave in colonial Philadelphia, Allen secured his freedom during the American Revolution, and became one of the nation’s leading black activists before the Civil War. Among his many achievements, Allen helped form the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, co-authored the first copyrighted pamphlet by an African American writer, published the first African American eulogy of George Washington, and convened the first national convention of Black reformers. In a time when most Black men and women were categorized as slave property, Allen was championed as a Black hero. In this thoroughly engaging and beautifully written book, Newman describes Allen's continually evolving life and thought, setting both in the context of his times. From Allen's early antislavery struggles and belief in interracial harmony to his later reflections on Black democracy and Black emigration, Newman traces Allen's impact on American reform and reformers, on racial attitudes during the years of the early republic, and on the Black struggle for justice in the age of Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Washington. Whether serving as Americas first Black bishop, challenging slave-holding statesmen in a nation devoted to liberty, or visiting the President's House (the first Black activist to do so), this important book makes it clear that Allen belongs in the pantheon of Americas great founding figures. Freedom's Prophet reintroduces Allen to today's readers and restores him to his rightful place in our nation's history.
