Book SynopsisTrade Review"To Live Peaceably Together is an original and highly readable book that reorients our understanding of the Black Freedom Struggle in the North by focusing on an advocacy group run mainly by white allies, a historical topic with great contemporary relevance. I salute K'Meyer's achievement in telling this fascinating and overlooked story." * Todd Michney, Georgia Institute of Technology *
