The Mumbet and Quock Walker Cases: The Legal End to Slavery in Massachusetts Friday, March 4 at 1:00PM
In 1781, Elizabeth Freeman, known as "Mumbet," successfully sued for her freedom from the bonds of slavery in a pivotal case argued before the Massachusetts courts. In the same year, Quock Walker, also sued for his freedom, won, and was declared free. The argument that won in each case was that slavery was unconstitutional under the Massachusetts Constitution. Professor Chester will explain these cases and their importance. To sign up email [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>. Here's the Zoom link for today's presentation by Professor Ron Chester.
