Faith to Freedom Daily: James L. Bradley

Posted on July 31st, 2010 by Chris McMahon

James L. Bradley who was born in Africa and enslaved in South Carolina as a field hand wrote in 1835 that; As soon as I was free, I started for a free State.  When I arrived in Cincinnati, I heard of Lane Seminary, about two miles out of the city.  I had for years been praying to God that my dark mind might see the light of knowledge.  I asked for admission into the Seminary.  They pitied me, and granted my request, though I knew nothing of the studies which were required for admission.
