Details
Hodges's narrative places Ruggles in the fractious politics and society of New York, where he moved among the highest ranks of state leaders and spoke up for common black New Yorkers. His work on the Committee of Vigilance inspired many upstate New York and New England whites, who allied with him to form a network that became the Underground Railroad.
Hodges's portrait of David Ruggles establishes the abolitionist as an essential link between disparate groups—male and female, black and white, clerical and secular, elite and rank-and-file—recasting the history of antebellum abolitionism as a more integrated and cohesive movement than is often portrayed.
