Summary:"Because it embraced radical racial egalitarianism in 1835, Oberlin, Ohio, stood in the vanguard of the quest for abolition and black freedom in the antebellum period. Today, residents, visitors, and scholars still celebrate its historic role in abolition, integration, and the quest for equality."--Provided by publisher.
