Citation | VGW(HU.776.038 25 May 1776:11 (1294) From the New York Journal. On Monday the 8th instant a lusty likely Negro wench was delivered of a male child, who, in memory of a certain notable Negro Chief, is named Dunmore. Hail! doughty Ethiopean Chief! Though ignominious Negro Thief! This black shall prop thy sinking name, And damn thee to perpetual fame. (Query, Is not this, though an act of justice to Dunmore, cruelty to the innocent Negro?) |
