Description: This first scholarly treatment of a fascinating and understudied figure offers a unique and powerful view of nearly one hundred years of the struggle for freedom in North America.
Review Quotes: The Reverend Jennie Johnson tells the story of a remarkable figure whose varied accomplishments represent an important legacy for black history in Ontario and an example for women's rights. Reid-Maroney's account of Johnson's long life moves from the Underground Railroad era into the later, seldom explored time period that followed. Beautifully written and thoroughly researched.--Bryan Prince, author of One More River to Cross and A Shadow on the Household.
