In 1780 (though some present-day, minimum-wage residents of the state might feel that it's still alive and well.)
"The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners has awarded the Massachusetts Historical Society a grant to digitize primary sources that document "African Americans and the End of Slavery in Massachusetts." The Society will present historical manuscripts, rare—in some cases unique—published works, artifacts, and visual materials that serve as a window upon the lives of African Americans in Massachusetts from the arrival of the first slaves on the ship Desire in 1638 through the abolition of slavery under the Massachusetts Constitution of 1780. Through true-color, large format images, linked to searchable transcriptions and enhanced by contextual historical and biographical information, the MHS will make the unique or difficult-to-find materials available to the widest possible audience at masshist.org.

"...it was a 1783 judicial decision, interpreting the wording of the 1780 constitution, that brought slavery to an end in Massachusetts."
