The American Prejudice Against Color: An Authentic Narrative, Showing How Easily the Nation Got into an Uproar.
1853
The American Prejudice Against Color: An Authentic Narrative, written by William G. Allen in 1853, recounts his personal experiences with racial prejudice in antebellum America. Allen, a quadroon and professor, faced violent backlash for his engagement to Mary E. King, a white woman, highlighting the societal turmoil surrounding interracial relationships. This narrative serves as both a personal memoir and a critique of the racial injustices of the time, featuring reflections on love, courage, and the struggles of free Black Americans. The book also includes commentary on the contradictions of white abolitionists regarding mixed-race unions and is complemented by an introduction from editor Sarah Elbert that contextualizes Allen's life and activism.
