Free at last

From Slave to Statesman: The Legacy of Joshua Houston, Servant to Sam Houston (F 391 H79 P 73 1993) by Patricia Smith Prather and Jane Clements Monday tells the story of a black man who never forgot his roots in slavery as he helped bring up the black community.

Joshua Houston was taught to read by his owner.
Joshua Houston was trusted to make business decisions while his owner was away.
Joshua Houston was allowed to keep the money he earned.
Joshua Houston was freed by his master in 1862- the year Abraham Lincoln announced the Emancipation Proclamation.
Joshua Houston valued his education and the trade he had been taught (blacksmithing).

Read about this remarkable man and the contributions he and his family made to the South. They valued education above all. An education and a trade would truly free a person from manual labor.
