On March 11, 1854, thousands of Wisconsin abolitionists gathered outside the Milwaukee Courthouse, outraged by the beating, capture, and jailing of freedom seeker Joshua Glvoer. Glover, who had lived and worked in Racine for two years after fleeing bondage, had little hope for freedom if he went before a judge. Instead, abolitionists broke down the jail's door and, through the Underground Railroad, spirited him away to eventual freedom in Canada. But this was never the full story. In their groundbreaking book, now in a second edition, authors Ruby West Jackson and Walter T. McDonald chronicle Glover's life before and after his violent capture and escape and spotlight the people, Black and white, with whom he interacted. While the "Glover incident" captured national attention--pitting the state of Wisconsin against the Supreme Court and adding fuel to the pre-Civil War fire-- it is also the story of one man who was determined to live his life unbound. Filled with examples of bravery and compassion in the face of oppression, Finding Freedom provides a nuanced picture of the man for whom so many fought and around whom so much history was made.
