William Monroe Trotter (1872- 1934), though still virtually unknown
to the wider public, was an unlikely American hero. With the
stylistic verve of a newspaperman and the unwavering fearlessness
of an emancipator, he galvanized black working- class citizens to
wield their political power despite the violent racism of post-
Reconstruction America. For more than thirty years, the
Harvard-educated Trotter edited and published the Guardian, a
weekly Boston newspaper that was read across the nation. Defining
himself against the gradualist politics of Booker T. Washington and
the elitism of W. E. B. Du Bois, Trotter advocated for a radical
vision of black liberation that prefigured leaders such as Marcus
Garvey, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr. Synthesizing years of
archival research, historian Kerri Greenidge renders the drama of
turn- of- the- century America and reclaims Trotter as a seminal
figure, whose prophetic, yet ultimately tragic, life offers a link
between the vision of Frederick Douglass and black radicalism in
the modern era.
