[Rare Stories @rarestorees]

Mary Ellen Pleasant born in 1815. The first African-American self-made millionaire.

In order to understand how to invest her money wisely as a Black domestic worker in California, Mary Ellen Pleasant eavesdropped on her rich customers. In the future, she made use of this information to create a real estate empire that was worth over $30 million.

Before beginning to amass a real estate portfolio, Pleasant put her investing proceeds to good use by acquiring companies like laundromats and boarding houses. She soon acquired stock in additional companies, including banks, dairies, and restaurants.

Her white male business partner is thought to have assisted her in making multiple investments under his name so that she wouldn't have to deal with the same obstacles that other aspiring Black businesswomen of the time did.

Pleasant quickly rose to become one of the richest women in America.

She also said "I often wonder what I would have been with an education."

The last American slave ship arrived in Mobile, Alabama, in 1860, despite the illegal importation of slaves. On board were approximately 160 West African individuals who had been captured and enslaved. One of the captives, named Cudjo Lewis, was acutely aware of the potential erasure of his birth culture as he toiled in this new land. However, when he eventually gained his freedom, Lewis took action to preserve his heritage.

Using the money he had earned, Cudjo Lewis purchased two acres of land and established a self-sufficient community for the survivors of the last slave ship. This community, known to outsiders as Africatown, aimed to recreate aspects of the West African home from which they had been forcibly removed. Lewis wanted to ensure that extended families could live together, conversations could be held in regional languages, and traditions that might otherwise have been lost in America could be maintained.

Today, Africatown still exists as a community and continues to house the descendants of the individuals who were brought to America on the nation's last slave ship. It stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of those who fought to preserve their heritage and maintain a sense of cultural identity in the face of tremendous adversity.

This man was truly one of my role models…. Intelligence, class, grace, activist - Hero! I just want to say that I’m humbled by how you used your light to help brighten a path for us all. Your soul has returned to the creator but what you’ve left on earth will live with us forever. Thank you and thank you again.
