American Citizen newspaper (1)

Speaker or Author: editor
Newspaper:Colored American (1837 - 1842)
Date Published: 1841-04-10
Notes: The writer replies to an article in the American Citizen newspaper indicating that fugitives are being aided in their escape to Canada. He says that the belief that African Americans who succeed in other countries will reflect positively on those left in the U.S. is just another scam to realize the goals of Colonization. He wonders why it's necessary for African Americans to leave their home country to show their own worth when they can do this now where they are.
