The Democrat and Chronicle in Rochester, NY recently published an article about American people in bondage for centuries. Columnist Erica Bryant, noted that there ought to be a beautiful statue of Jermain Wesley Loguen on a horse, a much better hero than Robert E. Lee. She also commented with tongue in cheek, you know, like the memorial for this general, whose removal saddened so many white supremacists and Nazis, and whose army killed 600,000 Americans to preserve one of the cruelest systems of oppression in human history. Jermain was born into slavery in Tennessee. He was proud of his mother who was strong and courageous. It took two men to stop her from slave traders taking her young children away. She fought them furiously and was beaten until the culprits realized they were killing one of their best workers. When her son was 21 she helped him steal a horse from his master as he escaped. He became an outstanding abolitionist leader as he risked his life by advertising his house was a stop on the Underground Railroad. He and his mother stood up for freedom, not fearing even the Fugitive Slave Law demanding runaway people to be captured and returned back into bondage. They believed in the rights of human lives. Djed Snead is a monologuist posing as the historic Jermain Loguen on YouTube where this hero's life story shows he was a great winner.
