SUGGEST REVISING AND MOVING PARAGRAPH

(TITLE) HOME FOR FREED SLAVES In 1850, two African-American slaves, Ellen and William Craft, reached Liverpool following an arduous journey starting their flight to freedom from Macon Georgia. A group of prominent abolitionists arranged for them to be given a home in Ockham, Surrey, in 1851. They attended the Ockham village school, receiving instruction in the three Rs, and paid for their education by working as teachers, William giving instruction in carpentry, and Ellen in sewing. In 1852, their first child Charles Estlin Phillips Craft, was born free in Ockham. One year later, they left Ockham and moved to London. In 1871, after returning to the USA, they started the Woodville Co-Operative Farm School, modeled after the Ockham School. [And Not Afraid To Dare. Ellen Craft - pgs. 1-29. Bolden, Tonya; 1988]
