Based in Philadelphia, Still built a reputation as a courageous leader, writer, philanthropist, and guide for fugitive slaves. This monumental work details Still's life story beginning with his parents' escape from bondage in the early nineteenth century and continuing through his youth and adulthood as one of the nation's most important Underground Railroad agents and, later, as an early civil rights pioneer. Still worked personally with Harriet Tubman, assisted the family of John Brown, helped Brown's associates escape from Harper's Ferry after their famous raid, and was a rival to Frederick Douglass among nationally prominent African American abolitionists. Still's life story is told in the broader context of the anti-slavery movement, Philadelphia Quaker and free black history, and the generational conflict that occurred between Still and a younger group of free black activists led by Octavius Catto. 600 10 $a Still, William, $d 1821-1902. 650 0 $a Civil rights workers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Underground Railroad. 650 0 $a Biographies. 941 $a 9 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20240724014858.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022628.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220601010618.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20220202022317.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20211201010702.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20211030010648.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20210713014352.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210603010633.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210504015703.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D529334EAC9F11EBAF53C5C920ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
