Who was the Black-American who secured the State of Washington for the United States? . Who was the runaway slave who captured a Confederate Naval vessel and piloted it single-handedly to Union lines? . Who was the Black woman who fought side by side with men during the Revolutionary War? . Who was the slave who pastored an inter-racial church of over 2000 members? .
