Black American History, a history of black people in the United States. Ellen and William Craft Craft, Ellen and William, name of two African American abolitionists who were husband and wife. Ellen Craft (1826-1891) was a light-skinned black who helped her and her husband escape from slavery by passing as white; William Craft (1824-1900) is known for the autobiographical slave narrative that described the couple's dramatic escape. Ellen was born in Clinton, Georgia, to a biracial slave woman and her master and was so light-skinned that she was often mistaken for a member of her father's white family. This infuriated her mistress and, as a result, at age 11 Ellen was given as a wedding gift to a daughter who lived in Macon. There Ellen met William, whom she married in 1846. Two years later, the Crafts began to devise their escape plan, which involved Ellen posing as a white slaveholder traveling with "his" slave William. This plan required several levels of deception. Because a white woman would not travel alone with a male slave, Ellen had to pretend to be not only white but a white man. She cut her hair, changed her walk, and wrapped her jaw in bandages to disguise her lack of a beard. To hide her illiteracy, she wrapped her right arm in a sling to have a ready excuse for being unable to sign papers; and she explained all of the bandages by claiming to be an invalid traveling north to receive medical care. In this manner, the Crafts traveled from Georgia to Pennsylvania by train, steamer, and ferry without being discovered. They arrived in Philadelphia on Christmas Day in 1848.

William and Ellen Craft Activities This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. William and Ellen Craft's daring escape from slavery in 1848 made them famous throughout antebellum America, heroes in the eyes of abolitionists and criminals in the eyes of slavery supporters. The unusual circumstances of their flight to freedom were a major factor in their celebrity. Ellen, so light-skinned as to be nearly white, disguised herself in men's clothing and posed as a young white planter to effect her escape. Her husband, William, played the role of her slave. Together, they traveled from Georgia to Philadelphia by train and by boat, often staying in first-class accommodations and always directly under the noses of southern authorities. Americans everywhere were moved by their amazing story of boundary crossing, for the Crafts passed through not only the literal boundary that separated North from South, but also the social boundaries of race, class, and gender that divided the population of the United States.

Their harrowing escape in which the fair skinned Ellen disguised herself as a White gentleman and the dark-skinned William played the part of her doting slave - illustrates both the power of the Underground Railroad in Boston's antebellum Black community and the power of militant abolitionism in the face of federal pro-slavery legislation.

Contact Us William and Ellen Craft (continued) In September, 1850, Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Law , which not only provided for the return of fugitive slaves to their masters in the south, but also mandated the assistance of federal marshals and private citizens in the fugitives' capture. The abolitionists in Boston responded by holding a meeting at the African Meeting House on October 4, 1850, during which they voted to organize a group called the League of Freedom to protest the capture of fugitives. The League of Freedom voted Lewis Hayden president and William Craft vice-president. Ten days later, on October 14, the League of Freedom was absorbed into the Boston Vigilance Committee, designed "to secure the colored inhabitants of Boston from any invasion of their rights." On October 20, 1850, agents Hughes and Knight were sent by the Crafts' former owners to Boston to catch the fugitives. The actions of the abolitionist community, as well as the co-ordinated efforts of African-Americans throughout the Beacon Hill neighborhood, is indicative of the power of nineteenth century Black Bostonians, and their White allies, in the face of institutionalized racist policy. Vigilance Committee member William I. Bowditch transported Ellen Craft to the home of abolitionist Ellis G. Loring in Brookline and then to the home of Rev. Theodore Parker.

In a daring journey, she posed as a young male slave owner. Craft stands out as a determined and resourceful woman. Ellen Craft was born about 1826 in Clinton, Georgia, the daughter of a slave named Maria. Her father was Major James Smith, the mother's owner. Often mistaken for a member of her father/master's family, Craft especially incurred the displeasure of her mistress. When she was eleven, Craft was removed from the household and taken to Macon, Georgia, having been made a wedding gift for a Smith daughter. In Macon, she met her future husband, William Craft, also a slave. William and Ellen Craft are most famous for their remarkable escape from slavery, narrated in

39. Talkin' Broadway Off-Broadway - Ellen Craft: A New Opera - 8/19/04 Ellen Craft is not only good opera, but it s brilliant, thrilling, and moving, Ellen Craft s story and music adroitly capture the heartbreak, pain, http://www.talkinbroadway.com/ob/08_19_04.html

Ellen Craft: A New Opera Theatre Review by Matthew Murray Opera is rare at the New York International Fringe Festival; good opera is even harder to come by. Ellen Craft is not only good opera, but it's brilliant, thrilling, and moving, easily enjoyable wherever your tastes may lie on the theatrical spectrum. It was conceived by Sherry Boone, who's blown off her share of roofs performing in shows like Marie Christine and First Lady Suite . While lovers of New York musical theatre can only hope she doesn't give up performing entirely, that would be opera's gain: She demonstrates here that her talent extends even further than previously suspected, providing not only lyrics to music composed by Sean Jeremy Palmer, but also directing the piece and collaborating with Palmer on the libretto. (Palmer demonstrates his own versatility as well by choreographing the show.) Together, Boone and Palmer have brought an oversized, impossible American legend stunningly to life; the story is made all the more amazing by the fact that it actually happened. Ellen, a light-skinned black woman in 1849 Georgia, escapes from slavery on a Georgia plantation to the freedom of the North by masquerading as a white man, while her darker-skinned husband William poses as her slave. This simple, emotion-rich story proves ideal for the legitimately operatic treatment it's given here. Boone and Palmer fully explore not only the feelings of Ellen (the divine Linda Dorsey) and William (Terence Archie) and their sympathizers, but also of the slaves willing to be content (or play content) with their lot, and even the slaves' white owners, with their pompous gentility best typified by Ellen's owner, Mistress Craft (Donna Lynne Champlin). All of the production's beautifully defined characters, however, combine to depict the glorious panorama, in its infinite love and hatred, of the pre-Civil War South.

For those of you who missed this they were two black slaves who escaped from slavery in the US and came to Britain where they joined the campaign against slavery. They wrote a remarkable tract called Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom. http://docsouth.unc.edu/neh/craft/menu.html (I hope this works better then some of my other attempts at linking!) Various attempts have been made to follow their movements in the UK but all I can find out is that they lived in Hammersmith while they went to speak at various meetings around the UK. There is a blue plate on the wall of Craft House which is where they lived although the original house has been demolished. Does anyone know anymore?
