Answer 1

George Washington Williams
Clergyman, politician, journalist, lawyer, lecturer, and soldier but above all historian. This is a synopsis of his life story. He enlisted in the Union Army at the age of 14 and fought in the American Civil War. Upon leaving the army in 1868 he joined the Mexican Army and went on to become a lieutenant colonel. After his discharge, he attended Howard University and Newton Theological Seminary eventually being ordained a minister in 1874. In subsequent years he served as pastor of several churches, edited and published numerous journals, and served in the Ohio House of Representatives from 1879 to 1881. He wrote two definitive texts on the Black experience in the United States. His History of the ***** Race in America from 1619 to 1880 was the first objective account that endeavoured to obtain historical accuracy. Previous writers had used their works as fountains of propaganda and didactic storytelling. His History of ***** Troops in The War of Rebellion was sourced from oral histories from Black Civil War veterans and newspaper accounts. These historical tools are now basic techniques of professional historiography. He practiced law and became a prolific lecturer, leading him to an interest in the prospect of employing Black Americans as teachers, in the Congo Free State, a nation ruled by the Belgian king, Leopold II. On one occasion, Williams met Leopold with a view to visiting the African state but was met with strong opposition. Nevertheless, he visited the Congo in 1890, where he was shocked by Leopold's exploitation of the people of his dominion. He wrote to the king describing the widespread avarice of the Belgian officials. He asserted that the slave trade was still active in Africa despite the outward opposition of the colonial powers and that the population were exploited and deprived of the wealth they produced. He spent the rest of his life publicising the affronts to the Black population of Africa with particular reference to the Congo. His extensive travels to Africa led to the deterioration of his health. He took a convalescent trip to Blackpool, the famous English holiday resort, but died in 1891. Williams is remembered not only for his formidable talents in history, politics and theology, but also for his courage in fighting oppression at home and abroad.
