Martin Robison Delany (May 6, &#;&#; January 24, ) was an American abolitionist, journalist, physician, military officer and writer who was arguably the first proponent of black nationalism.[1][2] Delany is credited with the Pan-African slogan of "Africa for Africans."[3] Born as a free person of color in Charles Town, Virginia, now West Virginia (not Charleston, West Virginia), and raised in Chambersburg and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Delany trained as a physician's assistant.
