James Forten (September 2, 1766 – March 4, 1842) was an American abolitionist, activist and businessman in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. An early Black Patriot, and a staunch supporter of American independence, he was perhaps one of the most prominent Black leaders of the post colonial era.

Born to free parents in 1766, he became a sailmaker after serving in the American Revolutionary War. Following an apprenticeship, he became the foreman and bought the sail loft when his boss retired. Based on equipment he himself had developed, he established a highly profitable business. It was located on the busy waterfront of the Delaware River, in an area now called Penn's Landing. Forten used his wealth and social standing to work for civil rights for Black Americans in both the city and nationwide.~Wikipedia

Today is his birth anniversary.
