The Narrative of William W. Brown, a Fugitive Slave

Ever since that act, I have been in favor of "woman's rights

Great Britain. While the people of the United States boast of their freedom, they at the same time keep three millions of their own citizens in chains; and while I am seated here in sight of Bunker Hill Monument, writing this narrative, I am a slave, and no law, not even in Massachusetts, can protect me from the hands of the slaveholder!

The kind friend that had taken me in was named Wells Brown.
