One day in 1760, a slave named York in Woodbridge, N.J., suddenly “lost it” and lashed out against the white community he lived in.
He carried a pistol and a sword and approached the home of a white man, according to the records of a court that did not allow blacks to say a word unless they had evidence against another slave.
