frontation: sustained, nonviolent action

Martin Delany was an important 19th century Black abolitionist and nationalist who argued for Black emigration from the United States. He lived in Pittsburgh for many years and published one of the first Black newspapers there. Though initially collaborating with Frederick Douglass, Delany came to advocate for Black communities leaving the U.S. to achieve equality and rights, traveling to explore potential emigration sites in Africa and South America. Despite their philosophical differences, Delany and Douglass remained lifelong friends and rivals who debated the issues of their time. Delany is now largely forgotten compared to Douglass, partly due to their diverging views on assimilation versus separation.

Kushner draws parallels between the African American fight for equality then and continuing struggles for minorities today such as the LGBTQ community and their fight for marriage equality.
