Miles Lassiter (circa 1777-1850)

Miles Lassiter (circa 1777-1850)

An Early African-american Quaker From Lassiter Mill, Randolph County, North Carolina

BY MARGO LEE WILLIAMS
Although antebellum African Americans were sometimes allowed to attend Quaker services, they were almost never admitted to full "meeting" membership, as was Miles Lassiter. His story illuminates the unfolding of the 19th-century color line into the 20th. Margo Williams had only a handful of stories and a few names her mother remembered from her childhood about her family's home in Asheboro, N Carolina. Her research would soon help her to make contact with long lost relatives and a pilgrimage "home" with her mother in 1982. Little did she know she would discover a large loving family and a Quaker ancestor--a Black Quaker ancestor.

The Trader, The Owner, The Slave

The Trader, The Owner, The Slave

Parallel Lives In The Age Of Slavery

BY JAMES WALVIN
John Newton (1725-1807), best-known as the writer of "Amazing Grace," was a slave captain who marshaled his human cargoes with a brutality that he looked back on with shame and contrition. Thomas Thistlewood (1721-1786), lived his life in a remote corner of western Jamaica, and his unique diary provides some of the most revealing images of a slave-owner's life in the most valuable of all British slave colonies. Olaudah Equiano (1745-1797), was practically unknown thirty years ago, but is now an iconic figure in black history and his experience as a slave who speaks out for the lives of millions who went unrecorded.
