Abstract
ABSTRACT This essay examines the editorial positions of Thélismon Bouchereau and Frederick Douglass on abolition and Black uplift to explore a transnational, bilingual discussion of Black freedom in the Atlantic world. It surveys reporting in Haitian and U.S. newspapers, including La République and Douglass’ Monthly to argue that Black editorship of newspapers in Haiti and the United States provided a cohesive intraracial perspective of nineteenth-century Blackness and of the shared Black struggle for the abolition of slavery and for the uplift of free Black people across the Atlantic world.
