This slave cup was brought in by Warren Taylor, a former principal in the Omaha Public Schools. The cup, which has been passed down through the generations in his family, belonged to a relative who was a female slave in Mississippi during the 1840s. Taylor stated that the cup, along with an 1841 penny that came with it, were powerful reminders of how far his family had progressed over the roughly 150 years since the end of slavery.
