In honor of John Brown

I’m so proud of the Abolitionist history of Hudson, Richfield, and Kent. John Brown’s father was president of Western Reserve before he moved to found Oberlin. College of the Western Reserve was holding debates about slavery and publishing. Our school stepped up for the poor and oppressed and played a great and glorious role in the creation of modern America. Reserve cannot forget this mission. It’s not just for rich kids and it has a great (somewhat forgotten) history that all Pioneers should know and be proud of! So proud of my home state for changing the world. John Brown Sr and Jr should be required study, imo! ❤️
