MIKE: LIKE MOST WHO WERE FORCED INTO SLAVERY, NOT MUCH IS KNOWN ABOUT THE EARLY YEARS OF AMOS FORTUNE, YET UNLIKE MANY WHO WERE ENSLAVED, FORTUNE’S LEGACY LIVES ON BECAUSE OF THE DREAM HE EMBODIED. >> I THINK AMOS FORTUNE IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL AMERICAN SUCCESS STORY. MIKE: TAKEN FROM AFRICA AT THE AGE OF 15, AMOS SPENT THE MAJORITY OF HIS LIFE TANNING HIDES IN WOBORN, MASSACHUSETTS. IN 1763, WHILE IN HIS 60’S, AMOS PURCHASED HIS FREEDOM. >> I THINK WHAT WAS EXCEPTIONAL ABOUT AMOS WAS HIS AGE WHEN HE WAS ABLE TO DO THAT. MOST PEOPLE OF THAT AGE EVEN TODAY, YOU ARE READY TO RETIRE AND SIT DOWN AND RELAX. BUT HE COULDN’T. HE HAD TO MAKE A LIVING. MIKE: SEEKING OPPORTUNITY, AMOS SETTLED IN JAFFREY, OPENING UP HIS OWN TANNING SHOP. >> FROM ALL REPORTS, HE WAS THE BEST IN THE ENTIRE TERRITORY. HE WAS AN EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR. MIKE: IN 1789, AMOS PURCHASED 25 ACRES OF LAND, BUILDING A HOME FOR HIS SECOND WIFE AND ADOPTED DAUGHTER, WHICH STILL STANDS TODAY. BY ALL ACCOUNTS, HE BECAME PART OF THE FABRIC OF THE TOWN. >> WITH FULL MEMBERSHIP IN THE CHURCH AND THE RIGHTS TO BE BURIED WITHIN THE CEMETERY WALLS, WHICH WAS NOT COMMON FOR BLACK PEOPLE OR FREED SLAVES IN THAT TIME. MIKE: WHEN AMOS DIED, HE LEFT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO HIS CHURCH AND LIBRARY. HIS INFLUENCE LIVING ON THROUGH STREET SIGNS AND PLAQUES THROUGHOUT JAFFREY. >> IT SPEAKS TO THE HUMANNESS OF US ALL. WHAT YOU'LL DO TO SURVIVE, WHAT YOU’LL DO TO LIVE A GOOD LIFE, WHAT YOU’LL DO TO CREATE A LEGACY FOR YOUR DESCENDANTS.
