Reasonable Blackman
text:
Reasonable Blackman was a silk weaver resident in Southwark, London, in the late sixteenth century. He was among the earliest people of African heritage to be living and working as an independent business owner in London in that era. He may have come to London via the Netherlands, which had a relatively significant African population at the time and also a significant trade in silk, although his ethnic origin is unknown. The first record of Blackman is in the records of St Saviour's church in 15
