James Milton Turner
James Milton Turner (1840-1915) was a post Civil War political leader, activist, educator, and diplomat. As ambassador to Liberia, he was the first African-American to serve in the U.S. diplomatic corps.
==Early life==
Turner was born into slavery in St. Louis, Missouri. When he was a child he was sold on the steps of the St Louis courthouse for $50 (US$ in ).〔 His father, John Turner, was a "horse doctor" who was eventually able to purchase freedom for himself and his family. At fourteen, James Turner attended Oberlin College in Ohio for one term until he had to return to St. Louis to care for his family following his father's death in 1855. There, Turner attended John Berry Meachum's floating Freedom School on a steamboat on the Mississippi River, which Meachum had set up to evade the Missouri law against education for blacks that was passed in 1854.
