She bought people in 1820s New York, then used the papers to set them free

In 1820s New York, Juliette Noel Toussaint did something almost impossible to understand at first. A Haitian woman who had once known slavery bought human beings, but not to keep them. She used the same papers that could trap a life to help set people free.

This true American history story reveals the quiet courage of Juliette Noel Toussaint and Pierre Toussaint, a Haitian couple in old New York who used their earnings, faith, and home to help refugees, orphans, the poor, and people still caught in the shadow of slavery. Their story is part of Black history, Haitian American history, Catholic history, New York history, and the larger memory of freedom in America.

A powerful forgotten history story about dignity, sacrifice, service, and the people who changed lives without asking for applause.
