Jefferson wrote "All men are created equal." Jefferson also wrote this ad for the recapture of Sandy, a shoemaker by trade, who he enslaved. Quote both. #FreedomOnTheMove #HardHistory #ThomasJefferson Watch “Promo: Freedom on the Move” https://t.co/Eyx8pRgj5M

Thousands of enslaved people emancipated themselves by fleeing their enslavers. The ads placed by jailers and enslavers provide info about the desires of enslavers and the defiance of the enslaved. #freedomonthemove
