This should sooooo be a movie!!!!!

In 1780, an enslaved woman known as Mum Bet overheard the newly enacted Massachusetts Constitution being read out, which said "all men are born free and equal". She sued her master as a result.

The court ruled this meant slavery was now illegal and awarded her 30 shillings in compensation.
