May 9 is John Brown's birthday
A staunch abolitionist, he led armed raids to liberate slaves and was the first American executed for treason
His resolve galvanized anti-slavery sentiment in the North
« As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, his soul is marching on »

one of my favorite books of all time is James McBride's The Good Lord Bird, which was beautifully adapted for Netflix with the author's help
Ethan Hawke's performance as John Brown is a tour de force 🔥🔥🔥
The final scene echoes in my mind, & still gives me chills when I remember it
