Eliza Moore (1843 - January 21, 1948) was the last proven African-American slave. Eliza was said to have been born a slave in Montgomery County, Alabama in 1843. She died at the age of 105 on January 21, 1948 in Montgomery County, Alabama.

So the oldest black slave DIED 64 years ago and it was likely twice that since she could have given birth.

Thus, no current American’s mother or grandmother was a slave.

My great grandmother was a Native American Indian who had her land robbed by the U.S. government. My only connection is my great skin tone and easy ability to tan.

And had she not been a maltreated slave, she might have lived to be 135!
