"The difference between us is very marked. Most that I have done and suffered in the service of our cause has been in public, and I have received much encouragement at every step of the way. You, on the other hand, have labored in a private way. I in the day – you in the night."

"The midnight sky and the silent stars have been the witnesses of your devotion to freedom and of your heroism. Excepting John Brown – of sacred memory – I know of no one who has willingly encountered more perils and hardships to serve our enslaved people than you have."

It is #MexicanIndependenceDay.

The response: "Compañeros, this old man is my father. He comes to offer me rewards in the name of Spain. I have always respected my father but my homeland comes first."

When Black Meant Republican

By @ChrisALadd

It’s easy to forget now, but just a few generations ago African Americans overwhelmingly identified themselves as Republicans.

My Name Is John Punch: I am the first LEGAL #racialslave in human history.

I do not remember much about my past. That said, I do remember I wass born in the most beautiful place in the world —Africa.

I don't recall where in Africa.

Maybe Cameroon, Gabon or the Ivory Coast.
