According to George Lewis Ruffin, a Black attorney, Phillips was seen by many Black people as "the one white American wholly color-blind and free from race prejudice". According to another Black attorney, Archibald Grimké, as an abolitionist leader he is ahead of William Lloyd Garrison and Charles Sumner. From 1850 to 1865 he was the "preeminent figure" in American abolitionism. Provided by Wikipedia
