The Botched Boley Robbery V. The Harder They Fall.....

Boley Was The Black Town That Couldn't Be Robbed, by Betty DeRamus

ON NOVEMBER 23, 1932, three members of “Pretty Boy” Floyd’s Depression-era gang made the worst mistake of their lives. They tried to rob the Farmers and Merchants Bank in Boley, Oklahoma, an all-black town of proud-walking pioneers. 

UP TO that point, the Floyd gang had been robbing an average of a bank a week, usually without any resistance. But Boley’s bank was the state’s first nationally chartered black-owned bank, and residents had vowed it would never be robbed. As the gang would soon discover, folks in Boley meant what they said.

Abolitionist De Silva Mendonca

African American's involvement in the abolition of slavery is often confined to sporadic cases namely those of 'shipboard revolts', 'maroon communities', and 'household revolts',ignoring, the highly-organised, international-scale legal liberation headed by Mendonça in the Vatican on the 6th of March 1684. The court case presented by Mendonça on the abolition of slavery included different organizations, brotherhoods of Black people, and interest groups of 'men', 'women' and 'young people' of African descent in Spain, Portugal, Brazil and Africa.
