A white man unwaveringly devoted to ending slavery, Brown spent his life fighting oppression—donating land to escaped slaves and aiding the Underground Railroad. Frederick Douglass once said Brown “is in sympathy a Black man,” a testament to his deep commitment. In 1859, Brown led 21 men—Black and white—in a raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, W.Va., aiming to spark a slave uprising.

Wow - thanks so much. Means a lot that your son is learning from #TheGrift. This month actually marks 167 years since the horrific Dred Scott decision.
My 22 yr- old is ENAMORED w/& learning from #TheGrift by @claycane & is reading it to me! https://t.co/2CTykyUhFc
Wow -thanks for this. After three weeks on the NYT best sellers list, I’ve never seen my book up front or on a table. Unfortunately, I’ve been hearing #TheGrift is in the stock room - not even on the shelves. Shout out to Atlanta!
@claycane sharing some awesome news…for all the Barnes & Noble locations not showing you due respect, I went to one in Atlanta off Cobb Pkwy and it was front and center. I did a little happy dance! https://t.co/EDHStGh1bi
