Edward Wilmot Blyden was called "The Apostle of Blackness." Frederick Douglass once said, and was famous for it, "I thank God that I am simply a man. Blyden thanks God that He made him a Black man."
Dont forget David Walker. He seldom gets his due. I think that if Blyden was the Apostle of Blackness, David Walker must be considered the father of Black revolutionary propaganda. He was an agitational genius, not only for obtaining an education and writing his eloquent tract "Appeal: In Four Parts" but also getting it printed and smuggling it into the South. Walker was incredible.
And dont forget Mother Moses, Harriet Tubman, one of the greatest human traffickers who got African people OUT of colonialism.
