EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "JOHN BROWN's RAID, 1859" captures the essence of a pivotal moment in American history. The central figure in this portrait is Dangerfield Newby, an African American member of the party led by renowned abolitionist John Brown during their audacious raid on the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Newby's strong presence is evident as he gazes directly into the camera with determination etched across his face. His thick beard and distinguished moustache add to his commanding appearance, symbolizing both strength and wisdom. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the bravery exhibited by African Americans who fought for freedom during this tumultuous time. The oval-shaped print evokes a sense of nostalgia while also highlighting Newby's significance within this revolutionary event. It transports us back to October 16-18,1859 when these men embarked on a daring mission to challenge the institution of slavery that plagued our nation. As we reflect upon this historical moment captured through Granger Art on Demand, it is important to acknowledge Dangerfield Newby's sacrifice - tragically losing his life during the raid. His unwavering commitment to justice continues to inspire generations today.
