Who Were the Abolitionists?
This title will be released in September 2023! 

The abolitionists were a group of people who wanted to get rid of (abolish) slavery. This book will tell you about some of them. They came from different places and had different stories, and God called them to serve him in different ways. But they each worked to make sure that a human being, made in the image of God, could not be owned by someone else.

Included are profiles of:

• Granville Sharp
• Phillis Wheatley
• Olaudah Equiano
• Thomas Clarkson
• William Wilberforce
• Zachary Macaulay
• William Knibb
• Sojourner Truth
• Frederick Douglass
• Harriet Tubman

Also includes a timeline of key dates.

Endorsements: 

I love the effort that Danika Cooley makes in this book to simplify and bring the short stories of several people who fought against slavery and slave trading to the attention of a new generation of young people.

Danika has done it again! Built on the foundation of God’s command to love our neighbors as ourselves, in her Who, What, Why series, Danika comprehensively explores the tragic history of slavery throughout time and throughout the world. It’s a sad history, but also a hopeful one, with God’s gracious promise ultimately to set captives free.
