Abstract:
George Moses Horton published a volume of poetry in 1829, an great accomplishment for a slave in the early 19th-century. Entitled \"The Hope of Liberty,\" Horton argued that African Americans given the same freedoms and liberties would thrive and achieve equally great things as their non-enslaved contemporaries. A historical marker at the intersection of US 15-501 and Mt. Gilead Church was dedicated in his memory with Horton's ancestors in attendance.
