Marshal Keeble - Born to slaves, yet credited with starting nearly every African-American Church of Christ in Tennessee

Children, who made your skin white? Was it not God? Who made mine black? Was it not the same God? Am I to blame, therefore, because my skin is black?... Does not God love colored children as well as white children? And did not the same Saviour die to save the one as well as the other? - Sojourner Truth

Absalom Jones - Slave whose life and witness helped lead his owner to Christ. He bought his freedom and helped found the Free African Society.
