520    James McCune Smith and Henry Highland 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.
