Acts 2:1-4
King James Version (KJV)
1
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come,
they were all with one accord in one place.
2
And suddenly there came a sound from
heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it
filled all the house where they were sitting.
3
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues
like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost,
and began to speak with other tongues, as the
Spirit gave them utterance.

Little Known Black History Fact: Nat Fuller
Nat Fuller was an enslaved chef and business owner
who was instrumental in bringing together the city of
Charleston, S.C. at the conclusion of the Civil War. In
April 1865, Chef Fuller hosted a lavish feast that was
racially integrated in a bid to bring together the city.
Fuller was born in 1812 to a planter father and an
enslaved mother. At the age of 15, Fuller was sold to a
local businessman as a cook and butler. He became an
apprentice of a London-trained baker and learned the
fine culinary arts. It was this tutelage and expert training that would eventually
make Fuller a household name.
After gaining his freedom in 1852, Fuller became a seller of wild game and meats.
His business thrived as he was the main contact for not just fine dining but meat
and food supplies. In 1860, Fuller opened the Bachelor’s Retreat as a de facto
gentlemen’s club but then shifted his focus to cooking and catering.
When the Civil War ended in 1865, tensions between the North and South began
to thaw but Charleston was still largely divided. Details of Fuller’s feast are
scattered, but what historians agree on is that it featured both Black and white
citizens of note from Charleston.
Additional accounts suggest that the guests sang, drank, danced and praised
President Abraham Lincoln as they slowly embraced being a part of the North’s
Union states. The dinner has been reenacted in recent times with a similar theme
of togetherness.
One of the victims of the tragic Charleston church shooting last year at Emanuel
A.M.E., late State Senator Clementa Pinckney, attended one of the recent
modern-day feasts.
