Miller stewart was born in freedom in hartford, connecticut, and although she never received a formal education, was one of the first african american women to speak publicly not only about the ills of slavery, but also about the associated problems of racism.

Why sit ye here and die If we say we will go to a foreign land, the famine and the pestilence are there, and there we shall die If we sit here, we shall die Come, let us plead our cause before the whites If they save us alive, we shall live And if they kill us, we shall but die.

Her most common theme was the evil of slavery Why sit ye here and die? This is an excerpt from maria w Stewart’s second lecture, “why sit ye here and die.” she gave this speech at franklin hall in boston on september 21, 1832. Miller stewart, “lecture delivered at franklin hall” (21 september 1832) [1] why sit ye here and die If we sit here, we shall die.

Stewart’s premise here is one echoed by many, that free blacks were not free in the true sense of the word

Franklin and moss use the term “quasi freedom” to define this condition.
