Massa's Baby

In 1791 Sugga was born into slavery on Dan Cobweb's plantation in Mansfield, Louisiana. She was the product of a Negro mother and a White father who she would go on to know as Massa. After spending over two decades on Mr. Cobweb's plantation, she was sold to Henry Winslow in Houston, Texas. Where she would eventually learn the mental bondage of slavery and the effect that it had on the Negro nation.
