A perceptive and inspiring biography of an extraordinary woman born into slavery who, through grit and determination, became a historic social and educational leader.
                          
The life of Betsey Stockton (ca. 17981865) is a remarkable story of a Black womans journey from slavery to emancipation, from antebellum New Jersey to the Hawaiian Islands, and from her own self-education to a lifetime of teaching othersall told against the backdrop of the early United States pervasive racism. Its a compelling chronicle of a critical time in American history and a testament to the courage and commitment of a woman whose persistence grew into a potent form of resistance.

When Betsey Stockton was a child, she was given, as a slave to the household of Rev. Ashbel Green, a prominent pastor and later the president of what is now Princeton University. Although she never went to school, she devoured the books in Greens library. After being emancipated, she used that education to benefit other people of color, first in Hawaii as a missionary, then Philadelphia, and, for the last three decades of her life, Princetona college town with a genteel veneer that never fully hid its racial hostility. Betsey Stockton became a revered figure in Princetons sizeable Black population, a founder of religious and educational institutions, and a leader engaged in the day-to-day business of building communities.

In this first book-length telling of Betsey Stocktons story, Gregory Nobles illuminates both a woman and her world, following her around the globe, and showing how a determined individual could challenge her societys racial obstacles from the ground up. Its at once a revealing lesson on the struggles of Stocktons times and a fresh inspiration for our own.
