We know Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice as two of today's most high-profile African American political figures, but who paved the way for these notable diplomats? More than 130 years ago, Ebenezer D. Bassett served as the first black United States ambassador. This book lays bare the struggles Bassett faced as a pioneer of one the most controversial subjects in America's history: racial integration. Bassett's achievements, which include being appointed the first African American diplomat and chief of a U.S. diplomatic mission, leading the integration of public schools, and fighting for equal rights alongside revolutionaries such as Frederick Douglass. "Hero of Hispaniola" secures Bassett's legacy as the first African American political figure, a man who not only altered the American political structure, but led the way for all future civil rights advocates to follow.
