owen has been the director of the underground railroad freedom center since 2004.ed across the country on the anti-slavely movement. his first book available in the back describes the central role of the founders of knox college who were part of an important web of individuals across this country, fighters for freedom. it has been described as an essential text for understanding that struggle for freedom in the midwest. his second book entitled theodore dwight weld and the american anti-slavery society also recall this is important collective effort that brought many people together in small and sometimes unrecognized ways to make great and enormous changes which we celebrate this month. he will speak to us today about a distinguished 19th century member of this house who represented the proud state of illinois. i give you owen muelder, a true son of knox class of 1963.

i should turn now to a discussion of owen lovejoy's political career. in the 1840s, lovejoy joined that wing of the anti-slavery cause that wanted to take the abolitionist movement in a political direction. he supported the liberty party in 1840 and 1844, and in 1848 he backed the efforts of the free soil party, a vastly expanded version of the liberty party. in the '48 election lovejoy was an unsuccessful candidate for congress on the free soil ticket. in 1854, he was elected to the illinois state legislature. now by that time the passage of the kansas-nebraska act had nullified the missouri compromise, and that had the effect of opening up kansas and nebraska territories to the possibility of eventually becoming slave states. the kansas-nebraska act as many of you know was negotiated through congress by illinois senator steven douglas. the effect of the kansas-nebraska act seriously affected the political coalitions across the united states. people who were moving towards a new party struggled with what name they might call this party, fusion party, p

with some exceptions, like owen lovejoy. but the fact of the matter is, there were numerous accounts of fugitive slaves escaping. there were some sections of newspapers had reward posters, advertisement after advertisement, talking about it, but in addition, newspapers were keen on giving accounts of fugitive slaves who were escaping. a court case that was

for the most part these people were secretive about what they were up to with some exceptions like owen lovejoy. there were numerous accounts of fugitive slaves escaping. there were some sections of newspapers have reward posters advertisement after advertisement talk about it. in addition newspapers were keen on getting accounts of fugitive slaves who were escaping, court case that was going on and full blown abolitionists took the opportunity to insert stories in newspapers. the american antislavery society had publications that were, of course, designed to speak solely to the subject of antislavery issues and many of the people who wrote stories for these kinds of journals were very clear about their commitment and their organization with others. so there were a variety of ways that people heard about it. fugitive slaves who were living in slave states most of them, of course, could not read or write. some slaves could read and write and they would sometimes get ahold of newspapers even on a plantation and would become aware of the underground railroad that way. >> if i were a slave
