"P" is for Paul

The ABC's of February. "P" is for Paul. Paul Cuffe was a Massachusetts shipping magnate of the early 19th century — and probably the wealthiest African American of his era. Much of Cuffe’s success came from his associations with Quakers, from whom he learned of abolitionism and the efforts to re-settle emancipated slaves in Africa. #bhm #onepointfivedays #ABCsofFebruary #PaulCuffe
