Though Black Americans have considered leaving America for a chance at full citizenship somewhere else since America's beginning, many fiercely opposed the American Colonization Society. To them, the ACS (organized in 1817 to send free Black people to Liberia) was White Americans solidifying their belief that Black freedom and citizenship had no place in America. Yet, at the same time, Black people led their own efforts to emigrate to places like Haiti and Canada. To talk about Black America's oppositional and hopeful relationship towards Liberian colonization I talked to Professor Ousmane Power-Greene, author of Against Wind and Tide: The African American Struggle against the Colonization Movement.
