Rezensionen / Stimmen
Sernett's book Insures that no one can ignore Beriah Green when considering great figures in the history of American reform and black education." -Religious Studies Review
"An important contribution to the study of the abolitionist movement as well as to the history of education." -History of Education Quarterly
"Milton Sernett captures the forceful image of Green and paints a very strong revealing portrait of a man of great 'moral intensity,' a minister who had little in clination to pastor but a great burning need to instruct and reform those about him." -Education Studies
