A Fruitful Harvest 8:23 PM Born into slavery in 1845, James Coleman and his parents cultivated farmland in Uttingertown, a rural hamlet off what is now Winchester Road in Lexington, while enslaved. Coleman gained his freedom in 1863 and purchased the farm in 1888 for $1,200 using monies set aside by the Union Benevolent Society, a national initiative created by Booker T. Washington, where members in local communities pooled their resources to provide loans so former enslaved individuals could buy land or use the money to bury relatives. James Coleman’s inability to read, write, secure a commercial bank loan or join the Chamber of Commerce in Lexington did not prevent him from managing an agricultural business and making investments that, in the decades since, helped create generational wealth that has enabled more than 300 of his descendants to attend college.
