I am doing research for a major national magazine piece I have been asked to
do which will touch on the issue of reparations. In the course of my work,
I have come across the following volume:
Black Masters. A Family of Color in the Old South, Michael P. Johnson and
James L. Roak New York: Norton, 1984)
Two questions for the list:
1.) Although the book seems sound, and comes from a reputable publisher,
does anyone know any reason I should be leery of the research it uses (I am
more interested in the research than the arguments);
2.) Can anyone provide any additional material on free black ownership of
slaves.
I am not writing a polemical piece and am not interested in arguing a
partisan position. My interest is solely factual accuracy, so that I give
an honest presentation of the history here. Since this is such an explosive
subject, I want to make sure I am on firm ground, and would appreciate any
input from other members of this list.
Thanks.
