"Any time, any time while I was a slave, if one minute's freedom had been offered to me, and I had been told I must die at the end of that minute, I would have taken it-- just to stand one minute on god' airth a free woman--I would."
Mumbet Elizabeth "Mumbet" Freeman
first black woman to gain her freedom in court in the newly formed United States
