== Biography ==
Alethia Lethe Browning lived on a plantation in Patuxent River, Maryland with her two sisters, Sophia and Laurena Browning, and their slave-holder Rachel Pratt, the mother of Maryland governor Thomas Pratt. From her, Alethia was able to purchase her freedom for $1,400 after saving up her money from selling produce in Washington, D.C. markets. She received her manumission papers on July 10, 1810. Soon after Alethia was able to purchase her sister Laurena Browing along with her husband, their children and many of her family and friends. Sophia had already bought her husband George's freedom for $400.00 from the Addison family, whereafter he purchased her freedom as well.
Alethia was recognized as a leader in the early African American Community of the District of Columbia. She was a Methodist church member in part because she was drawn to their position on slavery. Later, she and other African American former slaves left the church, finding it unwelcoming because they did not want to be confined to the galleria in the church. Alethia and her sister and her sister's husband joined Israel Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church and later purchased it when it was being sold in auction.
