Blassingame.   Lavinia Bell’s story is particularly touching in her determination to be free at all costs yet disturbing in the raw violence to which she was subjected.   Born free in Washington she was stolen as an infant and enslaved in Galveston, Texas.   As the property of William Whirl, his wife, Polly, taught Lavinia to be a performer, “taught to dance, sing, cackle like a hen, or crow like a rooster…”   About the age of 13 or 14, she was sent to the cotton field an exposed to a different level of bondage.
