The tragic and unjust murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020 caused a tidal wave of anger, frustration, and action to address systemic police brutality and racism in our community, state, country, and world.
I'm embarrassed to say that this happened very near to my home. In fact, it took me well over a month to visit the memorial site where Mr. Floyd uttered his last words, "I can't breathe" at 38th & Chicago in Minneapolis, MN.
The pain and suffering are still apparent, but out of the ashes emerges a new feeling of activism and awareness. I can only hope that the energy around this tragedy leads to positive things.

Jesmond Old Cemetery
A plain flat stone can be found in the unconsecrated section and is simply inscribed ‘ George R. Pumphrey died the 17th of 10th month 1862 aged 32 years ‘ .
George Richardson Pumphrey was a member of a well known Quaker family - as can be seen by the use of 10th month rather than October . Some Quakers did not use actual month names as many were of Pagan origin .
The Richardson and Pumphrey families were well known business owners with interests in Tanning , Groceries and Tea and Coffee .
George purchased a Grocery business in Blackett Street in Newcastle and employed his younger brother Thomas as an assistant . Thomas later went on to open the well known Pumphrey’s Coffee shop .
George died at the young age of 32 whilst living in St. Mary’s Terrace in Newcastle .

Thomas was born in Worcester and came to Newcastle in 1855 to work in his uncle’s grocery shop in the Cloth Market in Newcastle . The family were strict teetotallers , and being appalled at the amount of heavy drinking taking place in the town centre , Thomas converted part of the premises into a coffee house . He roasted his own coffee beans and that part of the business became very successful . Ironically his original premises later became a Public House of the same name !
Thomas had married Emma Richardson whose family were well known Tanners in Newcastle , with their own Leather Works in Elswick .
Pumphrey’s Coffee is still widely available today but now has no connection with the family ."

"George Middleton was an early leader in Boston’s African American community and he was a colonel in the Revolutionary War. Middleton and Louis Glapion began constructing a two family residence at 5 Pinckney Street in 1786. Finished in 1787, this building is now the oldest extant home on Beacon Hill. This wood structure is a typical example of late 18th century Boston homes built by African Americans.
Little is known of Louis Glapion except that he was a hairdresser who may have been from the French West Indies. Glapion lived and ran his business out of 5 Pinckney Street until his death in 1813. His wife Lucy continued to live there until 1832. George Middleton worked tending horses, but during the Revolution he was the leader of a black militia company called the Bucks of America. While little evidence of the group has survived, they likely guarded the property of Boston merchants during the Revolution and they may have also been known as the “Protectors.” Near the close of the Revolution, the Bucks of America were presented with a unit flag by John Hancock. This flag is preserved in the collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society."
