Charles Lenox Remond (1810-1873) was perhaps the boldest agent of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society and possibly the most eloquent of the Black abolitionists of antebellum Boston. He had a national and international reputation as an anti-slavery leader, and was appointed as an American delegate to the World Anti-Slavery Convention in London in 1840. In 1842 he was the first of his race to address the Massachusetts House of Representatives, protesting segregated railroad accommodations in the state.
