520    The powerful story of two young men who changed the 
       national debate about slavery     In the 1820s, few 
       Americans could imagine a viable future for black 
       children. Even abolitionists saw just two options for 
       African American youth: permanent subjection or exile. 
       Educated for Freedom tells the story of James McCune Smith
       and Henry Highland Garnet, two black children who came of 
       age and into freedom as their country struggled to grow 
       from a slave nation into a free country.    Smith and 
       Garnet met as schoolboys at the Mulberry Street New York 
       African Free School, an educational experiment created by 
       founding fathers who believed in freedom's power to 
       transform the country. Smith and Garnet's achievements 
       were near-miraculous in a nation that refused to 
       acknowledge black talent or potential. The sons of 
       enslaved mothers, these schoolboy friends would go on to 
       travel the world, meet Revolutionary War heroes, publish 
       in medical journals, address Congress, and speak before 
       cheering crowds of thousands. The lessons they took from 
       their days at the New York African Free School #2 shed 
       light on how antebellum Americans viewed black children as
       symbols of America's possible future. The story of their 
       lives, their work, and their friendship testifies to the 
       imagination and activism of the free black community that 
       shaped the national journey toward freedom.
