The Ripon Rabbit
Before the Little White Schoolhouse became a symbol of political history, Wisconsin was shaken by a dramatic act of courage that made the crisis of slavery impossible to ignore.
Join AJ the Ripon Rabbit as he uncovers the powerful story of Joshua Glover — the fugitive slave captured in Wisconsin, the bold rescue that followed, and how that moment helped set the stage for the historic March 20, 1854 meeting in Ripon, Wisconsin.
Just days before citizens gathered at the Little White Schoolhouse, the people of Wisconsin were forced to confront a question far greater than politics: Would they stand by while a man was dragged back into bondage…or would they stand for freedom?
This episode connects the dots between Joshua Glover, the resistance to the Fugitive Slave Act, and the anti-slavery fire that led to one of the most important political meetings in American history.
Before there was a new movement…before there was a famous schoolhouse meeting… there was a human life on the line.
