The Magnificent Reverend Peter Thomas Stanford: Transatlantic Reformer And Race is a biography of the pioneering African American minister and abolitionist. The book follows Stanford's life from his birth in slavery in Virginia to his rise to prominence as a leading voice in the fight for racial equality.

Stanford was born into slavery in Caroline County, Virginia, in 1799. As a child, he was sold to a planter in Kentucky. Stanford ran away from slavery twice before he was finally able to escape to Canada in 1832. He settled in Toronto, where he became a minister and a leading voice in the fight against slavery.

In 1843, Stanford traveled to England to speak out against slavery in the United States. He met with leading British abolitionists, including William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson. Stanford's speeches helped to raise awareness of the horrors of slavery in the United States and to build support for the abolitionist movement.

Stanford returned to the United States in 1847 and continued to work for the abolition of slavery. He was a founder of the American Anti-Slavery Society and the National Equal Rights League. He also played a key role in the Underground Railroad, helping slaves to escape to freedom in Canada.

Stanford's work helped to shape the course of the abolitionist movement and the fight for civil rights in the United States. He was a tireless advocate for the rights of African Americans, and his dedication to justice and equality left a lasting legacy.
