I’ll bet there were no black slave owners either, eh “Professor Gates?”

Hell, the first LEGALLY RECOGNIZED slave owner in America (known at the time as the British Colonies) was a black man.

The myths persist. Northerners claim to have been against slavery yet if you go into old cemeteries up there you’ll see the graves of slaves and their owners. Right in Harvard Square, a few blocks from Skippy Gates’ house, there are a number of slaves buried in that cemetery.

During the Civil War there was a black slave owner who was the toast of Charleston society and even had a letter of introduction from the governor of Georgia. I forgot to add that the slave owner was also a woman.
