The history behind one of Tampa's oldest love stories

The time was one where masters and slaves existed, and that’s what William Ashley and Nancy were to one another. But the words on their headstone explain a bond much deeper.
A slave schedule from 1850 shows William had a female slave who was his age. But it wasn’t until census records after the Civil War that we learn her name.
The two are buried together in Tampa's historic Oaklawn Cemetery: www.fox13news....

Why do y'all always try to act like being black and discriminated against is the same as being gay. Stop using that. Being gay has to do with morals and values. Being a person of color is not a choice is an ascribed characteristic given to us by God. God doesn't give people the characteristic of being gay but sin produces it. Black and Gay is not on the same lane.
