無料で聴く

William Wells Brown, born into slavery near Lexington, Kentucky, embarked on a remarkable journey to freedom and activism. The son of a slave mother and an unacknowledged white father, Brown escaped at around age 20 and dedicated his life to the abolitionist cause. Working as a steamboatman and a conductor on the Underground Railroad in Buffalo, New York, he became a prominent lecturer for the Western New York Anti-Slavery Society, standing alongside figures like Frederick Douglass. In 1849, he traveled to Europe to rally British support for the anti-slavery movement, returning in 1854 after his freedom was bought by British abolitionists. His literary contributions include several influential works, but in My Southern Home Or, The South And Its People, his final book, Brown offers a poignant reflection on his life as a slave and his observations of the South post-emancipation. Through his travels across southern states, he provides powerful insights into the complex social and political dynamics between whites and African Americans during that turbulent period.
