More about the book

The book explores the significant role of Black American intellectuals in shaping and critiquing Thomas Jefferson's Enlightenment principles. Hannah Spahn highlights how figures like David Walker, Lemuel Haynes, Frederick Douglass, and W. E. B. Du Bois engaged with Jefferson's ideas, influencing both his legacy and the broader American Enlightenment. By centering Black thought, it reveals philosophical innovations that not only redefined Jefferson's contributions but also enriched the cultural understanding of his ideals in American history.
