Missouri v. Celia, a Slave

A Black slave woman, Celia (no known last name), was approximately 14 years old when Robert Newsom bought her in 1850 as a slave for his Missouri farm. After several years of being raped repeatedly by Newsom, Celia killed him, was convicted of murder, and hanged. [Source: Encyclopedia of Race and Crime; Missouri v. Celia, a Slave]
