diary entry was different than his usual entries
Penington's name never crossed his lips
Ignored the riots and white mobs in his community
Worked for ACS, to deport blacks to Liberia
Believed that the blacks should pay for their deportation, and possibly their freedom when they arrive in Africa
Prince Ibrahima
was ambushed and sold into slavery
When recognized, Cox tried to get him freed, but his owner refused-- there was now a wife & 9 kids too
Tappan arranged to buy the prince and his wife
Gallaudet saw his freedom as a missionary opportunity, but did not realize that Ibrahima was Muslim
Ibrahima told Gallaudet his son was a Baptist minister and he joined the church
Gallaudet was suspicious of this
Attended fundraisers with Galludet all over the state and in New York
children ended up being sold and dispersed throughout the South
Died shortly after arriving to Liberia
Years later, Gallaudet had forgotten about his children left in slavery when writing an article about him
