Today is the 166th anniversary of the beginning of John Brown’s raid on Harper’s Ferry.

Read Thoreau’s “A Plea for Captain John Brown”:

October 16, 1859 - Abolitionist John Brown led a group of 21 other men, five black and sixteen white, in a raid on the U.S. arsenal at Harper's Ferry, Virginia. They had hoped to set off a slave revolt — throughout the south — with the weapons they had planned to seize.

Virtually all his compatriots were killed or captured by General Robert E. Lee’s troops; Brown was wounded and arrested, and hanged for treason within two months.

Former enslaved and abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass said of Brown that he was a white man "in sympathy a black man, as deeply interested in our cause as though his own soul had been pierced with the iron of slavery."

Redefining the history of #Slavery in #America, the #DJT admin has put its anti-#DEI thumb on the scales.

Under new #ExecutiveOrder edict to reshape the #Smithsonian #Museum and the #NationalParks, curators of historic sites are ordered to rewrite history of #CivilWar, delete references to #HarrietTubman. Teaching visitors to historic sites about #UndergroundRailroad has been legislatively mandated since 1998, but recent #Drumpf era ommissions have been removing references to that, as well as #JohnBrown from #HarpersFerry and deleting mentions of #AfricanAmericans, the practice of slavery and any "divisive narratives" ...

"Moonrise Over The Gap"

An #autumn #moon rises over a #harvested #field in the #panhandle of #wv The gap referred to is the area between our section of the ancient #BlueRidge #mountains where sits beautiful #HarpersFerry. These fields will soon be populated with thousands of solar panels. My heart breaks. Hand-painted, digitally, in #CorelPainter, from my own photo.
