- Summary:
- Albert Barnes was a physician who applied his knowledge of chemistry to the manufacture of a widely used antiseptic. This is both a biography of an iconoclastic and innovative figure and a study of the often-conflicted efforts of an emergent liberalism to seek out and showcase African-American contributions to the American aesthetic tradition.
