John Brown The Abolitionist
As more and more Americans are finally being exposed to the social injustice in this country, story tellers like Jermaine Fowler are emerging to set the historical record straight. The white washing of American history has served to enable the cycle of racism, would have us believe it’s been suitably addressed and those that seek a reckoning are nothing but disgruntled citizens. I discovered Jermaine on his Instagram page, @thehumanityarchive, a must follow if you are interested in the truth of Black history. When I first saw the post about an entire podcast being devoted to John Brown, a white man and an abolitionist before the civil war, my interest was peaked. As a kid I remember hearing the story of Harpers Ferry but the angle was “those rebels.” Jermaine draws upon historical writings, literature, his own research and his warm, edge of your seat story telling voice to bring John Brown to life. We come to understand through the thorough portrait Jermaine paints of John exactly what compelled the events of Harpers Ferry and the critical impact of abolition. A must hear, educational, riveting story of courage and influence.
