Excerpt from State Normal Magazine, Vol. 10: November, 1905
From the records of the Orange Presbytery we get a clearer insight into his relation to the community in which he lived than we may from reminiscences alone, hence the following quotations: Sept, 1827. John Chavis writes a letter to Presbytery about the Colonization Society, and asks for aid in his pecuniary difficulties.
In 1831 the negroes of southeastern Virginia and northeast ern North Carolina rose in insurrection under the leadership of a negro, Nat Turner. In consequence of this, very severe laws were passed by the Legislature of North Carolina concern ing the control of slaves. It was forbidden to teach a negro to read, and colored men were forbidden to preach. This deprived Chavis of his livelihood, and we see concerning him in the minutes of his Presbytery: April, 1832. Chavis writes again to Presbytery about his troubles in view of an act of the late Legislature of North Carolina forbidding colored men to preach.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the life and work of John Chavis, a free-born black man living in North Carolina from the late 18th Century onward. Exploring his education, religious beliefs, and career as a teacher while living in a period of American history shaped by slavery, the author seeks to portray Chavis as an accomplished scholar and dedicated educator who commanded the respect of his white peers and the affection of his students. The book argues that Chavis' contributions were significant and he deserves recognition alongside other North Carolina intellectuals, despite the challenges he faced due to the racial prejudices of the time. Through Chavis' remarkable story, the author illuminates broader themes related to slavery, abolitionism, and the pursuit of education in the face of adversity.
