John Brown was an incredible ally who walked his talk, but the enslaved Black men who fought for their freedom at Harpers Ferry are too often neglected in the telling of history. They should all be remembered as much as Brown. Shields Green was one of them. He became an ancestor today in 1859🕯💐

I loved The Good Lord Bird, both the novel and the TV series. The narrator gave a strong voice to enslaved people working with John Brown. That perspective deserves to be honored.

I agree…. Once we move beyond the insanity of trying to erase black history (we WILL), we need to incentivize and fund massive and wide spread projects to deeply revise how we teach it, to be inclusive of the perspectives of marginalized groups- especially African Americans.
