Step back into 1700s America, where Owen and Ruth Brown’s staunch Calvinist beliefs laid the groundwork for their son, John Brown—a man who would become one of the most polarizing figures in U.S. history. From witnessing the horrors of slavery at a young age to organizing militant resistance, Brown’s mission for liberation fueled the nation’s march toward civil war. In this timely episode, we examine Brown’s transformation from a devout abolitionist to a revolutionary leader, explore his ties with figures like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman, and uncover the legacy of his infamous raid at Harpers Ferry. What can John Brown teach us about moral conviction in the face of systemic oppression today? Tune in for an unflinching look at a historical figure who refused to let freedom wait.
