1/3 We are deeply saddened by the untimely death of our wonderful colleague Professor Raymond Gillespie on 8 February 2024. Raymond joined the Department of History in 1991.

Leary was stationed in the rifle factory. The local militia & U.S. Marines defeated John Brown & his men, & Leary was shot while trying to escape and lived for some time before dying of his wounds. Several years later, his wife married again to abolitionist Charles Henry Langston

[Irish American Heritage Museum @IrishAmericaMus]

In honor of #Blackhistorymonth, we spotlight an Irish American abolitionist, Lewis Sheridan Leary. Leary, grandson of Irish immigrant Jeremiah O’Leary & his mixed race wife, was one of five black men involved in John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry, where he was fatally injured.

[Irish American Heritage Museum @IrishAmericaMus]

A year later, Leary was introduced to John Brown, a radical abolitionist. Leary and John A. Copeland Jr., his relative by marriage, both joined John Brown’s party in the attack on Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in October of 1859. The attack was to take control of the U.S. arsenal.
