Mary, who was born in 1832, may have been the multiracial child of an enslaved woman and her enslaver, one of his relatives, or a white overseer.

Sold away as a young girl, probably from one or both of her parents, she was purchased by the slave trader Robert Lumpkin, a violent white man 27 years her senior. When she was about 13, she was forced to have the first of five children with him. According to a descendant, she told him he could do with her what he wanted but demanded that their children be freed.

Robert bought the slave jail in the Shockoe Bottom area of Richmond, Virginia in 1844. It became known as Lumpkin's Jail, and it was one of the cruelest prisons in the South. Some even called it the "Devil's Half Acre."

She and the children likely lived with him on the compound of his slave jail, where he imprisoned thousands of enslaved people between 1844 and 1866. Some were imprisoned there before sale, and others were held after sale. Nearly all were eventually shipped away to the Deep South.

In this wretched place, Mary managed to educate her children and find a path to freedom, moving them and herself to the free state of Pennsylvania with Robert’s blessing prior to the Civil War. She inherited the jail in 1866, when Robert died and bequeathed the property to her.

She didn’t want anything to do with the property, but two years later, she helped a white Baptist missionary from the American Baptist Home Mission Society turn the “Devil’s Half Acre”—a greatly feared place where countless enslaved people had long suffered—into “God’s Half Acre,” a school where dreams could be realized.

In the aftermath of the Civil War, the school, founded as the Richmond Theological School for Freedmen, provided black students with an education. For more than 150 years, it has elevated and nurtured generations of black men and women, helping them to realize their potential. It has shaped civic, education and business leaders and developed activists who worked to desegregate whites-only lunch counters in Richmond department stores.

The same grounds where enslaved people were imprisoned and beaten became the cornerstone for one of America’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU). Virginia Union University (VUU) is still in existence today.

It is also one of the rare HBCUs in America that can tie its origins to a black woman.

Mary, quién nació en 1832, pudo haber sido la hija multiracial de una mujer esclavizada y su esclavizador, uno de los familiares de él o un capataz blanco.

Siendo una niña pequeña fue vendida por uno o posiblemente ambos padres a un comerciante de esclavos llamado Robert Lumpkin, un hombre violento que era veinte y siete años mayor que ella. Cuando ella tenía alrededor de trece años, fue forzada a tener el primer hijo de cinco, todos de él. Según contó un descendiente, Mary le dijo que podía hacer con ella lo que quisiera pero exigió que sus hijos fueran libres.

Robert compró una cárcel para esclavos en el área de Shockoe Bottom en Richmond, Virginia en el año 1844. Eventualmente se conoció como La Cárcel de Lumpkin y fue una de las prisiones más crueles que existía en el sur. Algunos le llaman “la media hectárea del Diablo”.

Lo más probable es que ella y sus hijos vivían con él dentro de las instalaciones de dicha cárcel de esclavos, donde encarceló a miles de personas esclavizadas entre los años de 1844 y 1866. Algunos estaban encarcelados antes de su venta, otros se quedaban después de haber sido vendidos. Eventualmente casi todos fueron transportados a las profundidades del sur.

En este lugar miserable, Mary logró brindarle una educación a sus hijos y encontró un camino hacia a la libertad cuando con el permiso de Robert, ella y los niños se mudaron al estado libre de Pensilvania, antes de que comenzara la Guerra Civil. Ella heredó la cárcel en el año 1866, Robert murió y le cedió la propiedad.

Ella no quería nada que ver con la propiedad, pero dos años después le ayudó a un misionero bautista blanco procedente de la Sociedad Americana Bautista de Casas Misioneras a convertir “la media hectárea del Diablo” —un lugar grandemente temido donde un sin fin de personas esclavizadas sufrieron por largo tiempo — a “la media hectárea de Dios”, una escuela donde los sueños podían hacerse realidad.

Después de la Guerra Civil, la escuela fundada bajo el nombre de Escuela Teológica de Richmond para Libertos, le brindó educación a muchos estudiantes negros. Por más de ciento y cincuenta años, elevó y formó generaciones de hombres y mujeres negros, ayudándolos a darse cuenta de su potencial. Ha ayudado a formar líderes cívicos, educativos y empresariales y desarrolló activistas que trabajaron para acabar con la segregación en los mostradores de comida en los grandes almacenes de Richmond.

El mismo lugar dónde las personas esclavizadas fueron encarceladas y abusadas, se convirtió en el pilar para una de las Universidades y Colegios Históricamente Negros (HBCU) de los Estados Unidos. Virginia Union University (VUU) existe hasta el sol de hoy.

También es una de las HBCU que puede ligar su origen a una mujer negra.

Today we're reflecting on the incredible work our HBCU #VoteLoud students did to turn out the vote on their campuses this fall. On Election Day, Alabama A&M students Tomia, Carla, Jenella, and Monica organized a Parade to the Polls where students walked together to the polling locations on campus.

We are 𝘴𝘰 proud of you, Alabama A&M!
