Ancestral Reverence
Dr. James W.C. Pennington, my gggrandfather, is the first known Black student to attend Yale University School of Divinity. He was an abolitionist, writer, comrade to the Underground Railroad and Amistad Case, and an ordained minister. He purchased our family's freedom, and after the Civil War, he served congregations in Natchez, Mississippi; Portland, Maine; and Jacksonville, Florida, where he died.
