HOME PAGE Blue Plaques Shortlist Marcus Garvey Marcus Mosiah Garvey was born in Jamaica in 1887, of peasants of pure African stock. At an early age, he devoted himself to securing advancement for his race. In 1914, he founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association and two years later went to New York, where he set up a branch of the Association and began publishing the militant weekly Negro World Bob Marley: Catch a Fire , which was a modest success. Though carrying out other musical work - for singer Johnny Nash, for example - Marley continued to record and tour with The Wailers. His songwriting skills developed apace; in 1974 Eric Clapton had a hit with Marley's I Shot the Sheriff and in 1975 The Wailers had their first major hit with No Woman No Cry Exodus , which featured Marley's biggest hits, including Jamming, Waiting in Vain and One Love . By 1980, Marley had a worldwide following, and his music had become closely associated with the black political independence movement and freedom fighting in general. His health, however, was deteriorating, and in 1981 Marley died from cancer at the age of only thirty-six. Ignatius Sancho Gentleman's Magazine . His Letters were published in 1782, along with a memoir by Joseph Jekyll, and attracted an almost unprecedented 1,181 subscribers, including the Prime Minister, Lord North.

Aldridge, Ira Frederick Aldridge, detail from an engraving by T. Hollis, 1833 By courtesy of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (b. July 24, 1807, New York, N.Y., U.S.d. Aug. 7, 1867, Lódz, Pol.), black tragedian, considered one of the greatest interpreters of his day. Accounts of his life in the United States are conflicting. The great British-American actor James William Wallack is believed to have engaged him as a personal attendant while visiting the United States. Aldridge set about to study for the stage, moving to England in the mid-1820s. In 1833 he made a highly successful debut in London as Othello at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden. Billed as the "African Roscius," after the great Roman comic actor, he made triumphant tours of Europe in several Shakespearean roles, including Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth. After 1853 he played mostly on the Continent, receiving honours from the Emperor of Austria, in Switzerland, and in Russia, among others. Aldridge was planning a trip back to the United States, but it is doubtful that he ever returned; he became an English citizen in 1863.

He attended the African Free School in New York City from 1820 to 1824, during which time he developed an interest in acting. He joined the African Theatre and made his stage debut as Rolla in August von Kotzebue's Pizarro. In 1823 the African Theatre closed, and soon after, Aldridge left for England. It has been suggested that he traveled with the great British actor Edmund Kean , who had engaged Aldridge as his personal attendant while visiting the United States. With Kean's encouragement, Aldridge continued acting, and in 1826 he made a successful London debut as Othello. Billed as the "African Roscius," after the great Roman comic actor, he made triumphant tours of Europe in several Shakespearean roles, including Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth.

Close this window to return to the munuscript index. HERBERT MARSHAL COLLECTION OF IRA ALDRIDGE Collection 139 5 boxes, 1 pkg., 1.25 cu. ft. Biography The exact date and birthplace of Ira Aldridge have been objects of some speculation. Herbert Marshall, in his book Ira Aldridge: The Negro Tragedian, feels that evidence points to the fact that Aldridge was born in New York on the 24th of July 1807. Legend has it that Aldridge’s forefathers were princes of the Fulah tribe in Senegal on the west coast of Africa. Aldridge’s father, Daniel Aldridge, was taken to America by a missionary and sent to school at Schenectady College, New York. Some sources say that Ira was born after Daniel Aldridge returned to his native land with his American black wife. Nine years later civil war broke out in Senegal, and the family fled to America. Other stories have it that Daniel Aldridge was actually a slave and was born in New York in 1772. Ira Aldridge went to the African Free School in New York City and at an early age developed an interest in the theater. He took odd jobs and raised money for a ticket to the fourth gallery of the Park Theater, where he saw the great American and British actors. He made his first appearance as Rolla in Pizzaro at the African Theater in New York and went on to play Shakespeare’s Romeo and later on Hamlet. His performance as Hamlet was seen by Charles Matthews, a member of Charles Dickens’s circle. Matthews later parodied this performance and Ira’s rendition of the song "Opossum Up a Gum Tree," which was a sort of national anthem of the Negroes. Aldridge’s realization that Negro actors in New York were ridiculed, and that even amateur attempts on their part aroused jealousy, led him to emigrate to England.

Ira Frederick Aldridge: Shakesperian actor Ira Frederick Aldridge was born on July 25, 1807 in New York City. His father Daniel, who was a lay preacher and straw vendor, and his mother, Lurone, were free blacks. Ira's mother died in 1818, when he was a boy. Ira attended the African Free School where he won many oratory contests. After Ira's father remarried, he ran away from home. bodyOffer(29075) The audiences loved Aldridge's performances, however he received bad reviews from the press. In order to improve his acting skills, he toured the provinces, including Manchester, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Lancaster and Liverpool. For seven years, he starred in the plays, "Oroonoko," "The Slave," "Othello," "The Revenge," and "The Padlock." Herbert and Stock, the authors of the biography "Ira Aldrige," explain the significance of Aldridge's Liverpool appearance: " the greatest centre of the slave trade in the United Kingdom, where only three years before he had landed as an unknown, penniless stranger. One can imagine the feelings of the pro-slavery elements at the presumption of this Negro to appear in anti-slavery plays like "Oroonoko," "The Revenge," and "The Padlock," and furthermore to see a well-known star like Vandenhoff playing his Iago and a white woman, Miss F.H. Kelly, playing his Desdemona! Such a leap in so short a time was indeed something unparalleled in theatre history, as well as a unique challenge to racial superiority." At the close of many of his performances, Aldridge would play the guitar and sing an anti-slavery song. On final nights of his performances, he delivered addresses that focused on the injustices of slavery. In 1832, he distributed an address to the audience entitled "Willian Tell, the Swiss Patriot." Part of it read, "I risk my all upon thy powerLifesonyea, country, too; To free my brethren, fetter'd slaves, From sinking in inglorious graves." He regularly contributed to the abolitionist movement and the Negro State Conventions.

Golden Opinions of Owen Mortimer's biography of Ira Aldridge : I had read one account of his extraordinary life earlier. Your work gives me another perspective. I would enjoy discussing Aldridge's life with you when we next meet... - His Excellency, Edward J. Perkins, United States Ambassador to Australia, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory Born in New York City in 1807 and buried with State Honors in the City of Lodz in Poland in 1867, Ira Aldridge was decorated by more Heads of State that any other actor black or white, yet he is today unknown to the great majority of Americans. This documented history by Owen Mortimer is an important contribution to present and future generations. The struggle continues. - Frederick O'Neal, New York City, writing to author in 1990 after reading the manuscript. Friend and colleague of Dr. Mortimer, Dr. O'Neal was the renowned actor, director, author, lecturer and administrator, President of Actors' Equity Association, U.S.A. from 1964 to 1973 and International President, Associated Actors and Artistes of America from 1970 to 1989. In the era of slavery, two men showed Europeans what blacks could achieve: Toussaint L'Ouverture in politics and Ira Aldridge in art. Posterity has been so unkind to their fame that this study of Aldridge comes as a revelation.

His place of birth has been listed as Africa, and Bel Air, Maryland, some accounts of his life in the United States are inconsistent. Because of the lack of schools for African-Americans in Maryland, Aldridge moved to New York and attended the African Free School and Schenectady College. The great British-American actor James William Wallack is believed to have hired him as a personal attendant while visiting the United States. It was at Schenectady that Aldridge became interested in acting. He raised money and moved to Glasgow, Scotland.

John B. Cade Library Black History Theme 2003: The Souls of Black Folk: Centennial Reflections Americans have recognized black history annually since 1926, first as "Negro History Week" and later as "Black History Month. " What you might not know is that black history had barely begun to be studied—or even documented—when the tradition originated. Although blacks have been in America at least as far back as colonial times, it was not until the 20th century that they gained a respectable presence in the history books. Blacks Absent from History Books We owe the celebration of Black History Month, and more importantly, the study of black history, to Dr. Carter G. Woodson . Born to parents who were former slaves, he spent his childhood working in the Kentucky coal mines and enrolled in high school at age twenty. He graduated within two years and later went on to earn a Ph.D. from Harvard. The scholar was disturbed to find in his studies that history books largely ignored the black American population—and when blacks did figure into the picture, it was generally in ways that reflected the inferior social position they were assigned at the time. Established Journal of Negro History Woodson, always one to act on his ambitions, decided to take on the challenge of writing black Americans into the nation's history. He established the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (now called the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History) in 1915, and a year later founded the widely respected Journal of Negro History. In 1926, he launched Negro History Week as an initiative to bring national attention to the contributions of black people throughout American history.
