With a number of white allies, the African-Americans press the cause of abolition; they also form an aggressive nationalistic "Black Convention Movement" strongly pushing the cause of, their rights as, residents and citizens of the United States of America. An opposition "Back to Africa" movement also takes flight, advocating that only in Africa will Blacks ever find true freedom, true peace and a real home. All this abolitionism, escape-to-freedom, and political ferment, is vividly captured in Segment #9.
