Lunch and Learn: Standing Strong: The Life and Legacy of Ohio’s Black Abolitionist Wilson Bruce Evans In-Person
Born a free man of color in North Carolina in 1824, Wilson Bruce Evans moved with kin and neighbors to Oberlin, Ohio in 1854, where he immediately immersed himself in the town’s vibrant antislavery politics. Soon after his release from jail for his participation in the 1858 Oberlin Wellington Rescue of freedom seeker John Price, Evans was thrown into mourning for the deaths of his brother-in-law and nephew, martyred in John Brown’s failed uprising. This lecture brings to life an abolitionist hero and follows the story through subsequent generations of his family who carried forward the struggle for racial justice.
