Martin R. Delany(photo below) was a prominent Black abolitionist, physician, and journalist who co-edited the antislavery newspaper The North Star alongside Frederick Douglass.

Born free in Virginia in 1812, Martin Delany is known as the father of Black nationalism, a pioneering abolitionist, and the first African American major in the U.S. Army during the Civil War. Delany partnered with Douglass in Rochester, New York, starting in December 1847.

LOL, many ppl think Marcus Garvey was the father of Black nationalism, but manifestly Martin Delany was there almost a century before Garvey.
