In 1848 Ellen Craft, an enslaved woman in Macon, Georgia, feared that her father - who was her White enslaver - would claim any child she bore as his property. And so, she and her husband, also enslaved, embarked on a remarkable ruse: Fleeing the South, she masqueraded as a male White slaveowner accompanied by "his" slave. Correspondent Mark Whitaker talks with Ilyon Woo, author of "Master Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom," and with Peggy Preacely, the couple's great-great-granddaughter.

I heard about this story decades ago. It is so amazing how human beings that were treated like animals outsmarted their enslavers brilliantly. Imagine the stories that were lost or not spoken of. This is why it is important to remember and learn historical FACTS. This was a fight for freedom, autonomy, and HUMAN rights.

This is an example of what (as much as many would disagree) Kanye meant by “ slavery was a choice “ . You could either stay and endure and possibly die in bondage or as a breeder … or escape ..

@@ryanamari2233 Many of the enslaved stayed because of family. Many enslavers lied to their slaves about freeing them if they bred a certain amount of children. Many enslavers lied to them about freeing them upon their deaths. Many enslaver's children simply chose to not abide by their parent's wishes. Many were too elderly or too young to escape. And many just committed suicide to escape slavery or killed their children so they would never live to experience slavery. And others fit enough tried to escape but were not successful. Slavery was never a choice. It was a circumstance that people were conditioned to accept from birth and violence was used to maintain it. People had reasons for enduring the brutality that made sense to them at that moment. If they had a real choice, they would never have chosen slavery.

ALL of the successful Black Lives in America 🇺🇸 are descendants of either brutal chattel slavey in the Americas & European nations 🌎 or of colonialism if they immigrated from a nation colonized by enslavers on the Continent. The only African nation who was not colonized were the Ethiopians. The difference with this couple is they were blessed and cunning enough to escape the shackles of slavery. My family on both sides has been in America 🇺🇸 since the 1700's according to research from national archives. We the descendants of slaves have generations of college graduates, military veterans, world travelers, doctors, teachers, lawyers, engineers, social workers, business men, nurses etc. Imagine if Black Lives were not subjected to slavery or colonization, the greatness would be immeasurable.

I think racists like DeSantis try to continue to fight against telling these stories because of greed and cowardice. He doesn't have half the strength and courage they display, and if more white Americans knew the truth, politicians and institutions couldn't perpetuate the policies and stereotypes designed to disempower them.

Announcements about a movie for this story was reported many months ago. There is already a direct ing team (husband and wife) and the two leads have been cast (one of whom is No an Adepo). There are so many great stories that need to be told about people dealing with and at times overcoming slavery, that it annoys me when folks keep whining that they don't want to see " no more slavery movies". I am happy that THIS story is going to make it to the screen.

There's a film coming out this year or next called "Hope of Escape" with a similar true story. I hope more true stories like this are seen so we always remember how important it is to keep oppressors in check, and out of business, government and other positions of influence.

That was horrible to know a master has a daughter, and enslaved her! And her sister was just as disgusting. Slavery was just a horrible demeaning thing to do to your fellow human. To know that the people enslaving them, and not saving their own children. I cannot imagine a mother's pain to lose her child. I love my child so much can not even think about it.

Plantation owners sold off their own flesh and blood regularly, after raping the enslaved women solely to create more "inventory."

It was COMMON back then. Most, but not all, enslavers felt that way about their own children.

Unfortunately, that's not the only thing they did to their offspring. Some even sent them to "breeding farms". I'll leave it at that. It's also one of the reasons miscegenation laws started getting passed. Enslavers and the children that they acknowledged would not want relations with their own relations at some point in the future.

Ok. This is such a harrowing story, but I need them to stop saying she was "impregnated" by her enslaver. It was rape. Let's be honest! The only way to heal is to tell the whole truth. Not whitewash it.
