This is a 3-part of a series about Martin Delany, born in 1812 in Charles Town, then Virginia going on to be the first African-American field officer in the U.S. Army, organizer in 1859 of a year long scientific expedition in West Africa, Harvard educated physician, co-editor of The North Start with Frederick Douglass, author of several books including one of the very first important novels by an African-American. It was called "Blake: The Huts of American," the story of a traveling insurrectionist serialized in the Anglo-African magazine in 1858-1860. After Lincoln met him in February, 1865 in the White House, the President immediately sent a memo to his Secretary of War, stating: "Do not fail to have an interview with this most intelligent and extraordinary black man."<\/p>\n

With Sonny Luckett as Martin Delany<\/p>\n

Be thou like the first Apostles \u2014 Be thou like heroic Paul; If a free thought seek expression, Speak it boldly ! speak it all ! Face thine enemies \u2014 accusers; Scorn the prison, rack, or rod ! And, if thou hast Truth to utter. Speak! and leave the rest to God. <\/p>\n

\nSOURCE OF QUOTE
\nYou are mistaken, Mr. Jenkin, it was not impudence nor even forwardness, as he was most delicately sensible of what was due to others, especially superiors; but I and he being raised up from childhood together, he was accustomed to look upon and treat me more as a friend and equal, than a master and superior." "You may thank me, then Mr. Postlewaite, for the change!" <\/p>\n

34a & 35a CONTINUED
\n"Certain it is, sir, that had you not repeatedly called my attention to it, insisting that I must persist in punishment until he was broken, I never should have notcied his conduct." "Do you think he’s completely cured?" He’s completely broken, sir, and as humble as a dog. The last chastisement that Goodman gave completely reduced him, taking out the last remnant of his manhood, so that he’s as spiritless as a kitten!" <\/p>\n

34a & 35a CONTINUED
\nThe following is an account written by Delany that he personally observed on his trip in 1839 to Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas: THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT FACT OF HISTORY BY A CREDITABLE SOURCE WHO IS BLACK. However it is an example of exceeding cruelty and should be read or not read accordingly. Not for children or teens<\/p>\n

Shortly there came forward a small black boy about eleven years of age, thin visage, projecting upper teeth, rather ghastly consumptive look. The child trembled with fear as he approached the group. "Now gentlemen," said Garson. "I’m going to show you a sight!" Having in his hand a long whip, the cracking of which he commenced, as a ringmaster in the circus, the child gave him a look never to be forgotten, a look beseeching mercy and compassion.

\na novel." With an introd. by Floyd J. Miller. Boston: Beacon Press. p. 67

34a & 35a CONTINUED
\n"The child commenced trotting around on his hands and feet like an animal. ‘Now gentlemen, look! He’ll whistle, sing songs, hymns, pray. swear like a trooper, laugh and cry all under the same state of feelings.’ With a peculiar swing of the whip, bringing the lash down upon a certain spot on the exposed skin, the whole person being prepared for the purpose. The boy commenced to whistle almost like a thrush. Another cut changed it to a song, another to a hymn. Then a pitiful prayer . . . when he gave utterance to oaths which would make Christian shudder, after which he laughed outright. . . then from the fullness of his soul he cried: "Oh maussa I’m sick, please stop little, casting up gobs of hemorrhage." <\/p>\n

\nby the traders and shipped to Liverpool, where it realizes better prices than New-Orleans cotton. <\/p>\n

The gins now in use by the natives affect injuriously the fiber, so as to depreciate it at least two cents per pound.
\nProperly cleaned, it would bring far more than New-Orleans cotton, and even as it is, the value is about
\nfour cents more than the East-India product. <\/p>\n

The plant in Africa being perennial, the expense and trouble
\nof replanting every year, as in this country, is avoided. There are flowers and ripe cotton on the plants at
\nall seasons of the year, although there is a time when the yield is greatest. Free laborers for its cultivation
\ncan be employed each for about one half the interest of the cost of a slave at the South per annum, and
\nland at present can be procured for nothing. These are advantages not to be despised. . . . Robert Campbell
