I remember reading something about a black feminist chick who was protesting the lynching of black Americans, her friends grocery store was burned down after it provided the white people with to much competition and he was killed. She eventually composed a bok or something that told the evils of lynching and the myth of the black guy who would rape white women and tried to push it in England but they couldn't believe the savagery that was taking place in America because none of the white feminists coming over there were talking about it. That shyt ran deep.
so many tales as it pertains to NO. @kp404 you ever heard of Mark Essex?
What about Cpt Robert Smalls the GAWD
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Smalls
Robert Smalls (April 5, 1839 – February 23, 1915) was an enslaved African American who, during and after the American Civil War, became a ship's pilot, sea captain, and politician. He freed himself, his crew and their families from slavery on May 13, 1862, by commandeering a Confederate transport ship, the CSS Planter, in Charleston harbor, and sailing it to freedom beyond the Federal blockade. His example and persuasion helped convince President Lincoln to accept African-American soldiers into the Union Army.
He was born in Beaufort, South Carolina. After the American Civil War, he became a politician, elected to the South Carolina State legislature and the United States House of Representatives. As a politician, Smalls authored state legislation providing for South Carolina to have the first free and compulsory public school system in the United States, and founded the Republican Party of South Carolina. He is notable as the last Republican to represent South Carolina's 5th congressional district until 2010.
In the fall of 1861, Smalls was assigned to steer the CSS Planter, an armed Confederate military transport. On May 12, 1862, the Planter's three white officers decided to spend the night ashore. About 3:00 am on the 13th, Smalls and seven of the eight enslaved crewmen decided to make a run for the Union vessels that formed the blockade, as they had earlier planned. Smalls dressed in the captain's uniform and had a straw hat similar to that of the white captain. He backed the Planter out of what was then known as Southern Wharf around 3 a.m. The Planter stopped at a nearby wharf to pick up Smalls' family and the relatives of other crewmen, who had been concealed there for some time. With his crew and the women and children, Smalls made the daring escape. The Planter had as cargo four valuable artillery pieces, besides its own two guns. Perhaps most valuable was the code book that would reveal the Confederate's secret signals, and the placement of mines and torpedoes in and around Charleston harbor. Smalls used proper signals so the Confederate soldiers would not know he was escaping in the ship.
Smalls piloted the ship past the five Confederate forts that guarded the harbor, including Fort Sumter. The renegade ship passed by Sumter approximately 4:30 a.m. He headed straight for the Federal fleet, which was part of the Union blockade of Confederate ports, making sure to hoist a white sheet as a flag. The first ship he encountered was USS Onward, which was preparing to fire until a sailor noticed the white flag. When the Onward's captain boarded the Planter, Smalls requested to raise the United States flag immediately. Smalls turned the Planter over to the United States Navy, along with its cargo of artillery and explosives intended for a Confederate fort.[3]

Virginia Slave Gabriel (often referred to asGabriel Prosser) made his mark in history, after attempting to lead a slave rebellion that was upended by betrayal within his camp. A literate blacksmith, Prosser was born in to slavery on a tobacco farm and learned how to read and write along with learning the trade of being a blacksmith with his two brothers. A tall man and generally well-liked, Prosser was not seen as a threat by slave owners and other Whites who encountered him.

In the year 1800, Prosser had been planning a revolt all spring and summer with intentions on leading the charge on this date. Prosser was set to lead the slaves to Richmond but was held up due to a storm. The slave owners caught wind that there may be a possible uprising by two slaves who went to their owner out of fear. The slave owner alerted the state’s Governor, who then called on the militia.
Watch Gabriel’s story here:
Prosser would escape to Norfolk but was seen and later betrayed by a slave hoping to get a cash reward from the state. Ironically, the slave would never get the full reward for his betrayal. Prosser was then returned to Richmond, where he faced a trial, but stood defiant in defeat.
Prosser, his brothers, and 23 slaves were hanged for daring to free themselves from bondage.
Prosser’s potential rebellion stirred embers of fear in to the hearts of slave owners and they sought to crush any future plans of this sort: Virginia would pass laws to limit the education, gathering, and hiring of freed slaves to quell any hopes of similar plans and uprisings.
After a 2006 request from the NAACP, Gov. Tim Kaine gave an informal pardon to Gabriel Prosser, stating publicly that “it is important to acknowledge that history favorably regards Gabriel’s cause while consigning legions who sought to keep him and others in chains to be forgotten.”
Gabriel Prosser’s life and legacy has been a favorite subject of historians, most notably the book “Gabriel’s Rebellion: The Virginia Slave Conspiracies of 1800 & 1802″byDouglas Egerton.
Ten years ago in Richmond, Gabriel Prosser was honored at the 202nd anniversary of the uprising and recognized as a “freedom fighter.”
