Some of the elite families got their start this way, or they claimed to have gotten their start this way because it was seen as a respectable thing. It was like, you were special to your dad. Obviously, we know this is how we came by being light-skinned, which is among the most important qualities a member of the Black elite could ever possess. Horrible beginnings.

What we did with that trauma is multiply it. But this is how this is part of their story, too. So Lucinda Seton's family seemed, from what I can surmise, to have partially gotten their start this way. I mean, they are very light. She's like part Indian, part white, part black.

She would be in the Fenty 300s. Thank you for translating that for modern audiences. So, you know, they're free through all this, you know, weirdness and grossness. But they also, somebody opened up a grocery store and it would eventually become the largest grocery store chain in the DMV. And so that's how they came by a bunch of money. So Lucinda's doing great.

She's living the dream until she marries a blacksmith. So the blacksmith is doing okay for himself. He's doing, you know, the best that he can, but he's also middle class. So now she is too. She clearly married for love because she has to move into a middle class neighborhood in a quaint little home on I Street in Northwest D.C., which is like now.

Yes, exactly. So she moves to I Street where the men go to work and the women raise kids and nobody comes by to paint their pictures. Oh, no. Lucinda has six kids, five girls and a boy named William. And she seems to have been searching for a way to get back in to the first families, like get back into the life she'd become accustomed. But they need to make some money.

If Lucinda Seton's six kids get educated, they can get good jobs, make real money, and put their family back on the map. So all the kids are sent to school. William goes to the prestigious private elementary school in the basement of the 15th Street Presbyterian Church. So now all Lucinda has to do is just wait. Unfortunately, in 1863, tragedy strikes. Her husband is murdered during a robbery.

So now, Lucinda is a widow with six kids to feed. I don't know if her family helped her out a bit. Maybe they did. But she does become a dressmaker, and she starts an ice cream shop to make ends meet.
