That work continues.

Bild zeigt Ausschnitt aus einem historischen Kupferstich, der im Detail zwei Männer in Gewändern des 18. Jahrhunderts zeigen, die grade einen Raum durch eine Tür verlassen oder die Tür hinter sich schließen. Daneben steht in einem ebensolchen Gewand, aber mit einer Art Turben mit aufgesteckter Feder ein Schwarzer Mann, der die rechte Hand in die Hüfte stemmt und aufrecht-selbstbewusst dasteht.

The owner of said negroes are requested to come forward, prove their property, pay all expenses, and take them away, or they will be dealt with as the law directs. OWEN FENNELL, Sheriff, By C. B. MORRIS, Deputy Sh'ff. March 19th, 1852. 29-tf FotM
In March 1852, Harry and I walked 90 miles from Hays' property in Marion District, SC to Wilmington, NC. We knew what that port meant. Ships leading us to freedom. They caught us before we got there. My name was TOM. #slavery #NC #SC #blackhistory

Yesterday at 1600 my @penandswordbooks.bsky.social work "Black Redcoats" passed the line to become a #PhD by prior publication, & I became a Dr.
I couldn't have done this without myriad support from so many people, inc my benefactor Karole & supervisor Alison.
Very proud. #History #Blackhistory
