About the Book

He was one of them; fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers, uncles and aunts and grandmothers and grandfathers. They were intellectual thinkers, astute businessmen, undefeatable generals and stealth warriors, skilled craftsmen, descendents of dynasties and architectural genius. They were husbands and wives living out their commitments to one another; they were babies ripped from the breast of their mother's milk and from the bosoms of caregivers; they were young lovers one moment planning their futures in the land they loved and the next betrayed and separated by countrymen; cast into the waters and transported as merchandise to the auction blocks of marketers and planters-never to see each other again. Some died at sea by disease under unlivable conditions of filth and sexual abuses, hunger and inhumane evil-others threw themselves into the ravenous waters rather than to be gagged and bound like animals and beasts of burden never to be free again to decide who they were, what they wanted, or how to live their lives. The trail was strewn and scarred by blood, sweat, stench and years of famished hope-strength tested---spirit resilient like my great grandfather, Frank Worthington whose name was insignificant and for whom this ballad is written-held on until The War that pitted North against South, Confederate against Yankee, blood against blood, slave owner against slave owner, gave him a cause for which to risk his own life. So, he gathered his composure and determination stored up over years of waiting and decided it was time. There would be no better time than The War. So through a series of haphazard and carefully laid plans, he made his escape and finally came to Newbern, NC where he made his mark. He would serve in Companies B and E of the 14th Regiment in the Heavy Artillery Division of the Colored Troops United States Army. He was one of the 200,000 African Americans who laid down their lives seeking freedom from chains in the United States. I salute him and all of those who by their conviction of freedom gave their lives for us. And thanks to Cousin David, a government furnished headstone was placed in honor of Pvt. Frank Worthington (Wellington) at the Maplewood Cemetery, Wilson, North Carolina, August 12 2011.
