@C_Wolbrecht @GeneMeyer Thanks! The dual portrait imagines Brown in the place of Lincoln in his first inauguration, and Douglass in place of Johnson—an alternative history theme also in the larger Douglass mosaic. Pennies are a frequent medium too… makes me reflect on value(s). https://t.co/Uf92ZFXYAf — PolitiTweet.org

@C_Wolbrecht @GeneMeyer Aww, thank you—my reporting background and history obsessions have intersected in a lot of works involving a Brown, Douglass, and others in their abolitionist networks https://t.co/Y1tWMBZqkQ — PolitiTweet.org

For those interested in more about Osborne Perry Anderson and his Black comrades in the raiding party—@GeneMeyer’s Five for Freedom goes into more depth — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@ryangrim Instead of debating military tactics, let me recommend Terry Bisson’s alternative history utopia Fire on the Mountain where the raid succeeds!!! I spoke to him about it last summer: https://t.co/jcrfDo0Bki — PolitiTweet.org

John Brown would want us talking about OSBORNE PERRY ANDERSON today, not him. https://t.co/ckESdaUtQj — PolitiTweet.org

@calikancab @renedugar There’s a great book about the role Mary Anne Day Brown and Brown’s daughters played in his activism called The Tie That Bound Us if you want to know more about her. There’s also Five for Freedom, which goes more into Anderson’s history. — PolitiTweet.org

@bekah_soul Sadly, because history is about whose stories we chose to highlight and I think we should be highlighting his more. — PolitiTweet.org
