Book Preview:

#1 After the raid, the pikes were left behind, and became collector’s items. They were eventually used in the Civil War to help free Black people and the Union Army.

#2 I decided to go to West Virginia and research the history of the Confederate flag. I was afraid that because of the current political climate, I would be met with resistance if I tried to understand why people held on to the Confederacy.

#3 At Harpers Ferry, I visited the site of the raid, which was preserved exactly as it was in the 1800s. It was a monument to the defeated, as it was here that John Brown and his comrades were captured and executed.

#4 The Niagara movement was a racial justice organization that gathered at Storer College in 1906. They were influential Black intellectuals, but their work was always driven by a passion that was often punished.
