Sally Maria Diggs

Sally Maria Diggs (c.1851[1] – October 27, 1928[2]) was an enslaved African-American girl, also known as "Pinky", whose freedom was famously bought by Henry Ward Beecher in 1860, during a sermon at Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, NYC.[3] Beecher famously said, "No child should be in slavery, let alone a child like this" and raised $900 to purchase her freedom.[4]

A parishioner named Rose Terry donated a ring toward Diggs' freedom. Upon her emancipation, Diggs was renamed Rose Ward, after Rose Terry and Henry Ward Beecher.[5] The episode was celebrated in a number of paintings and drawings at the time, including Eastman Johnson's "Freedom Ring."[6] Diggs later attended Howard University and married a lawyer named James Hunt, at which point she became Rose Ward Hunt.[7] In 1927, Diggs returned to Plymouth Church to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Henry Ward Beecher's first sermon at Plymouth Church.[1]

In 2010, sculptor Meredith Bergmann crafted a bust of Diggs. It was made in the style of the busts that flank the original entrance of the Center for Brooklyn History (then the Brooklyn Historical Society).[8] The bust remains in CBH's collections.
