Abstract

The author describes Rush's interest in the social problems of his day, particularly his concern with relations between blacks and whites. Rush was active in the abolition movement; his tracts and extensive correspondence especially emphasized the detrimental effects of slavery on the mind. He was also frequently involved in such activities of Philadelphia's black community as the securing of funds for the construction of churches.
