4 Black Slave Women Of History.

As we continue in our series on 4 Black Slave Women of History, we come to our second Lady.


Mum Bett 1742-1829. In later years she would change her name to Elizabeth Freeman.

Mum Bett was born a Slave and spent her young adult years in the household of John Ashley in Massachusetts. When Ashleys wife attacked  her Betts appealed to a local Abolitionist who brought her case to the courts. Betts was granted her freedom and 30 shillings in damages. In 1781 with the case Brom and Betts VS ASHLEY, Betts became a paid Servant and raised a family on her wages. She proved to be a driving force in ending  the Slave Trade in the Commonwealth of Massachuesetis. She became the first Black Slave Women to win her way out of Slavery.
