If you ever had questions about what and who exactly the mural depicted on the i-43 overpass on Fond du Lac Avenue represented, you are observing the visual story of Joshua Glover. Joshua Glover escaped from Benammi Stone Garland's Missouri farm in 1852 and traveled by foot to Racine, Wisconsin. Because of The Fugitive Slave Act, Garland and his men were legally permitted to hunt down Joshua and recapture him in March 1854. Garland and his men took Joshua Glover to a jail in Milwaukee with the plan of returning him to Missouri. The morning after Glover's jailing, it is said that abolitionist Sherman Booth and a mob stormed the jail. Glover was freed but then spent 40 years fleeing, finding safe spaces along the Underground Railroad system. After decades of running, Glover found lasting freedom in Canada. #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #milwaukeeblackhistory #wisconsinblackhistory #joshuaglover #racinewisconsin #bobbyportis #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization
