Description

James William Charles Pennington (1807 - October 22, 1870) was an African-American orator, minister, writer, and abolitionist. He was admitted to Yale University as its first black student. He completed studies and was ordained as a minister in the Congregational Church. Pennington identified as a pacifist, but during the American Civil War, he helped recruit black troops for the Union Army. He wrote and published what is considered the first history of blacks in the United States, The Origin and History of the Colored People (1841). Engraving by William Irwin, 1848 (cropped and cleaned).
