2025 Spirit of John Brown Freedom Award to be presented to Kelly Metzgar!
John Brown Lives! is presenting their 2025 Spirit of John Brown Freedom Award at the annual John Brown Day commemoration, held this year on Saturday, May 10, from 2-4pm, at the John Brown Farm State Historic Site in Lake Placid.
The award is the heart and soul of John Brown Day, a tradition dating back to 1922 that was started by leaders of the Philadelphia Chapter of the NAACP. The Spirit of John Brown Freedom Award was established to honor individuals and organizations whose work invokes the passion and conviction of the 19th-century abolitionist who dedicated his life to the cause of liberation and equality.
