The Story of Joshua Glover

Sulfur

George Gonis is the board president of the Joshua Glover-Cathedral Square project, which wants to create a monument to Glover's story and its national impact. He explains to Lake Effect's Stephanie Lecci how the 1854 freeing of runaway slave Joshua Glover by a mob of abolitionist Milwaukeeans reverberated across the country.
