The title and most of the text refers to H. H. Garnet, but the image caption spells the surname Garnett. The Harlem school named after him uses Garnet, but the school named in his honor near his birthplace in Chestertown, MD uses Garnett. Searching with Google suggests the Garnet spelling is more common, but I wasn't able with my limited Google skills to find any discussion of the alternate spellings that might shed light on which spelling HHG used, which would seem authoritative to me.
Please speak up if you are aware of any reputable sources discussing the alternate spellings. 184.78.246.47 ( talk) 04:26, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
I thought this article has been moving up nicely and it deserve a class-c rate. Let me know if you think differently about my assessment of Garnet's importance in the various categories here. Historian ( talk) 00:18, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Henry Highland Garnet (1815–1882) was an American abolitionist, minister, educator and orator. Having escaped as a child from slavery in Maryland with his family, he grew up in New York City. He was educated at the African Free School and other institutions, and went on to join the American Anti-Slavery Society, delivering abolitionist speeches such as the 1843 "Call to Rebellion". On February 12, 1865, Garnet delivered a sermon in the U.S. House of Representatives while it was not in session, becoming the first African American to speak in that chamber. This photograph is an albumen silver print of Garnet, taken in around 1881. Photograph credit: James U. Stead; restored by Adam Cuerden
