3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A Wonderful BookBy Norman B. Coe"The Making of An Afro-American: Martin Robison Delany" by Dorothy Sterling is an inspiring account of the life of Martin Robison Delany (1812-1885) a publisher; author; abolitionist; explorer; Harvard medical doctor; judge; editor; U.S. Army Major in the Civil War; ethnologist; and the father of Black Nationalism. This great man of color broke every stereotype ever created to impede the progress of African-Americans. This is a rich; textured path through the 19th Century as this book focuses on the extraordinary life of Martin R. Delany. Not to be missed.
