Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., begins by comparing the historical uses of Exodus by black and white Americans and the concepts of \"nation\" it generated. He then traces the roles that Exodus played in the National Negro Convention movement, from its first meeting in 1830 to 1843, when the convention decided-by one vote-against supporting Henry Highland Garnet's call for slave insurrection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eExodus!\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the deep historical roots of debates over African-American national identity that continue to rage today.
