Ebenezer Bassett
|
Please Meet: Ebenezer Bassett The First Black Diplomat for the United States Ebenezer Don Carlos Bassett was born free in 1833 in Derby, CT. His father was the Black Governor of Connecticut and his mother was a member of the Pequot tribe. He was the first Black man to graduate from Connecticut Normal School - now known as Central Connecticut State University. The civil war had just ended when President Ulysses Grant asked him to be the first U.S. minister to the new republic of Haiti. Ebenezer Bassett served from 1869-1877 during difficult times under a brutal civil war, securing strategic relations with the island nation of Haiti. Want to learn more?
