Designated a We the People project by the
National Endowment for the Humanities
Concord, Massachusetts, has long been
heralded as the birthplace of American
liberty and American letters. It was here that the
first military engagement of the Revolutionary
War was fought and here that Thoreau came to
live deliberately on the shores of
Walden Pond.
Between the Revolution and the settlement of the
little cabin with the bean rows, however,
Walden
Woods was home to several generations or freed
slaves and their children. Living on the fringes or
society, they attempted to pursue lives ot freedom,
promised by the rhetoric ot the Revolution, and yet
withheld by the practice ot racism. Ihorcau was all
but alone in his attempt to conjure up the former
occupants ot these woods. Other than the chapter
he devoted to them in
Waiden,
the history ot slavery
in Concord has been all but forgotten.
In
Black Waiden:
Sùvery
and Its Aftermath
m
Concord, Massachusetts,
Elise
Lcmirc brings to life
the former slaves of
Walden
Woods and the men
and women who held them in bondage during
the eighteenth century. After charting the rise of
Concord slaveholder John Cuming, Black
Walden
follows the struggles of Cuming s slave
Brister
as he
attempts to build a lire for himself after thirty-five
yean of enslavement.
Brister
Freeman, as he came
to call himself, and other ot the towns slaves were
able to leverage the political tensions that fueled the
American Revolution and force their owners into
relinquishing them. Once emancipated, however,
the former slaves were permitted to squat on only
the most remote and
infertile
places.
Walden
Woods
was one of them. Here, Freeman and his neighbors
farmed, spun linen, made baskets, told fortunes, and
otherwise tried to survive in spite of poverty and
harassment.
Today
Walden
Woods is preserved as a place for
visitors to commune with nature. Lemire, who
grew up two miles from
Walden Pond,
reminds
us that this was a black space before it was an
internationally known green space. Black
Walden
preserves the legacy of the people who strove against
all odds to overcome slavery and segregation.
Elise
Lemire is the author of Miscegenation :
Making Race in America, also available from the
University of Pennsylvania Press. She is Associate
Professor of Literature at Purchase College, State
University of New York.
