Check Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story"

There was a Black Doctor who had 1,000 slaves. During the Story, Harvey read from his diary. But I can't remember the name of the Doc.

He worried about owning men, especially of the same race, but then justified it because it was legal.

Oh come on. According to the 1860 census there was only a single person in the entire U.S. who owned 1000 or more slaves. It shouldn't be that hard to identify him.
