| An older man, a Federal policeman, I knew told me once then twice that Black people weren't free. "Anyone whose freedom is handed to them isn't free..." - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories |
Nick Biddle escaped from slavery and in 1861, he wore a uniform, traveled with his employee’s company to Baltimore to help protect Washington, D.C., after the surrender of Fort Sumter. Once there, he was set upon by a pro-Confederate mob, attacked with slurs and a brick that hit him in the head so severely it exposed his skull. Some consider him the first man wounded in the Civil War. - Lioness Daiba Sala
