John Newton (/ˈnjuːtən/; 24 July 1725 – 21 December 1807) was an English sailor, in the Royal Navy for a period, and later a captain of slave ships. He became ordained as an evangelical Anglican cleric, served Olney, Buckinghamshire for two decades, and also wrote hymns, known for "Amazing Grace" and "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken".
Newton started his career at sea at a young age, and worked on slave ships in the slave trade for several years. After experiencing a period of Christian conversion Newton eventually renounced his trade and became a prominent supporter of abolitionism, living to see Britain's abolition of the African slave trade in 1807.
John Newton was born in Wapping, London, in 1725, the son of Elizabeth (née Scatliff) and John Newton Sr., a shipmaster in the Mediterranean service. Elizabeth was the only daughter of Simon Scatliff, an instrument maker from London (the marriage register records her maiden name as Seatcliffe). Elizabeth was brought up as a Nonconformist. She died of tuberculosis (then called consumption) in July 1732, about two weeks before John’s seventh birthday. Newton spent two years at boarding school before going to live in Aveley in Essex, the home of his father's new wife.

Plot: A family of slaves, headed by Samuel Woodward (Cuba Gooding Jr.), escape from a Southern plantation with the help of the Underground Railroad. Their journey towards Canada is as perilous as it is intriguing. Quakers, musicians, railwaymen, a troupe of actors and Frederick Douglas, amongst others, individually conspire to help save the family from the infamous Slave Hunter, Plimpton (William Sadler), who is in hot pursuit. Although having escaped, Samuel rails against the hope of ever finding true freedom. He is shackled by bitterness, emanating from the emptiness of his own enslavement and atrocities committed against his ancestors. As they journey, Samuel's Grandmother Adira (Phyllis Bash), tells a story about the slave trader John Newton (Bernhard Forcher), who captained the ship that brought Samuel's ancestors out of Africa. Adira's story of Newton, although set in the past, resonates with Samuel and he begins to see the possibility of a future for himself and his family. At the Canadian border, the crossing between emptiness and hope, Samuel finds his freedom in the most unexpected of ways.

However, meeting the charming Barbara Spooner, Wilberforce finds a soulmate to share the story of his struggle. With few allies such as his mentor, John Newton, a slave ship captain turned repentant priest who penned the great hymn, "Amazing Grace," Prime William Pitt, and Olaudah Equiano, the erudite former slave turned author, Wilberforce fruitlessly fights both public indifference and moneyed opposition determined to keep their exploitation safe. Nevertheless, Wilberforce finds the inspiration in newfound love to rejuvenate the fight with new ideas that would lead to a great victory for social justice.

Plot: John Newton is captain of a slave ship moored off the coast of Nigeria. He stands at a crossroads in his life, his morality and religion at odds with the brutality of his chosen profession. Stepping ashore, he starts on a journey of redemption that will end in tragedy but prove the catalyst for greater achievements. A local anthem sung in adversity by the slaves he captures punctuates the film. It will be the inspiration for John Newton's redemption, and, years later, for his writing of the world's most enduring hymn, Amazing Grace.

Cenas do filme Amistad - 1997 http://filmecurtadocumentario.blogspot.com.br/2015/09/amistad-1997.html Em torno de 1750, John Newton era o comandante de um navio negreiro inglês. Os navios faziam o primeiro percurso de sua viagem da Inglaterra, quase vazios, até a costa africana. Lá os chefes tribais entregavam aos europeus as "cargas" compostas de homens, mulheres e crianças, capturados nas invasões e nas guerras entre as tribos. Os compradores selecionavam os espécimes mais finos, e os compravam em troca de armas, munição, licor, e tecidos. Os cativos eram levados à bordo, e preparados para o "transporte". Eram colocados lado a lado, fileira após fileira, uma após outra, até que a embarcação estivesse "carregada", normalmente com até 600 "unidades" de carga humana, e então acorrentados a...

Interview with John Newton (Alfresco) at 'The Future of Document Management', an event organized by Amplexor on 20 November 2014. For John Newton, it is clear that the IT industry is not addressing some fundamental issues regarding productivity. Connection within the enterprise should be a seamless process. The use of the cloud depends on the organization: there’s still a great reluctance to put certain information in the cloud. The solution will most likely be a hybrid approach: put information in the cloud when it belongs in the cloud and keep other information behind the firewall.

Amazing grace how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like meee
i once was lost but now am found
Twas blind but now i see.
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
and grace my fears releived
how precious did that grace appear the hour i first believed.
Through many dangers toils and snares
i have already come
tis grace has brought me safe thus far
and grace will lead me home
the lord has promised good to me
his word my hope secures
he will my sheild and portion be
as long as life endures
and when this flesh and heart shall fail
and mortal life shall cease
i shall possess within the veil
a life of joy and peace
when we' ve been there ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun
we' ve no less days to sing gods praise
