He later enrolled at Wesleyan University in Connecticut but was forced to withdraw due to opposition from both northern and southern students and faculty. Ray went on to become a prominent Black abolitionist, clergyman, and editor of The Colored American, one of the first African American newspapers. He was also active in the Underground Railroad and a leading voice for racial justice.
