Description
Down Memory's Lane by Dr. Donald D. Parker - - (excerpted from longer article) - - "Slavery Days in Parkville and Vicinity” - - The colored community has retained the memory of several Parkville citizens who had an unsavory reputation for their treatment of their slaves. One was Mr. Green White whom the slaves called a “breaker.” To him were sold, hired or loaned the slaves of Parkville vicinity who were hard to manage. His treatment of them was so cruel that the unruly slaves soon had no alternative but submission. Like White, Mr. Levi Hinkle was a member of the Presbyterian Church, though the latter was an elder. He was not a “breaker” but was noted for his severe treatment of slaves.Date(s) of Creation
