Moses Martin was an American farmer, A.M.E. Church organizer, county commissioner, elections commissioner, and state legislator in South Carolina.[1] He represented Fairfield County, South Carolina in the South Carolina Senate.[2][3] He helped found White Hall A.M.E. Church in Jenkinsville.[4]
Martin was enslaved from the time of his birth in South Carolina. He was documented as being "mulatto".[1]
He submitted his resignation as county commissioner in 1871 after receiving a death threat from the Ku Klux Klan, but South Carolina governor Robert Kingston Scott refused to accept it.[1]
In 2020, descendants of Martin were among those who gathered at the White Hall Church for a Black History Month celebration and campaign rally for U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.[4]
