Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick are famous actors descended from prominent American families that have been in the United States since its inception, and both have ancestors who were early opponents of slavery. Bacon's Quaker ancestors repudiated slavery in 1780, long before the rest of the country. And Sedgwick's ancestor Theodore Sedgwick argued the freedom case of Elizabeth Freeman, also known as 'Mumbet', in 1781, an act which helped bring an end to slavery in Massachusetts.
