This is John Brown, the abolitionist. The fun fact about John Brown is that he is in fact a white man. But this white man really cared and dedicated his life to the liberation of black people. An extremely religious man he felt that he was an instrument of God. He also believed that violence was necessary to end American slavery since decades of peaceful efforts had failed. He was taken to jail, severely wounded in Charles Town, Virginia. He stood trial for treason against the commonwealth of Virginia for murder and for conspiring with slaves to rebel and was hung to death. In closing, anybody can be a true ally for black liberation. But as we know revolutionaries and activists rarely see the changes that they fight and commit their lives for. Respect and love to our allies and their legacies.
