for article titled, The Revolutionary Black Roots of Slavery's Abolition in Massachusetts
In 1773–74 and again in 1777, people of African descent in Massachusetts successfully lobbied a governing body to take up the question of slavery as it related to an entire enslaved population. The essay examines their petitions, the first such abolitionist activity in the colonies and in England as well.
