Plantation.
- Authors
Harris, James Henry
- Abstract
The master ordered all his slaves on the plantation to gather around the big oak tree on the coming Sunday after church and had Overseer Winthrop to lock Moses in the cage until then. When the Atlantic slave trade ended and the Middle Passage dried up, the James and Mississippi Rivers continued to propagate and facilitate the slave trade and the horrors and the torture of the slave auction block. The plantation church was full of slaves and the white families of both Master Breckenridge and Overseer Winthrop. This story is an excerpt from Black Suffering: Silent Pain, Hidden Hope (2020) by James Henry Harris, a reverend and Distinguished Professor and Chair of Homiletics and Practical Theology at Virginia Union University.
