Your history dose for the morning.
On this day in 1773 Massachusetts enslaved Afrikan people petition for their freedom.
As a result of the petition, a bill ending slavery in the state was actually drawn up and passed by the legislature. But the governor refused to sign it and there were not enough votes to override his veto.
Contributing to our consciousness of the past, to inform us of the present, thus enabling us to more effectively influence and foretell the future.
Have a great morning.
