FINDING FREEDOM: The Joshua Glover Story
Saturday, April 2 / 7:00pm
Where’s Joshua Glover? The body of the ex-slave who died in June of 1888 at the “Poor House” in Newmarket was never to be found – likely sold to the Trinity Medical School in Toronto for anatomy lessons. A sad end for a man who mobilized hundreds to literally break down his prison walls and allow his escape from prison in Wisconsin. From there he followed the Underground Railroad and ended up in Canada, in Etobicoke, working for Thomas Montgomery here at Montgomery’s Inn. Portraying Joshua, his wife, friends and others who knew him, storyteller Dienye Waboso brings his riveting story to life. Pre-registration only. $20 plus tax. Includes period refreshments.
