Born free in 1821 to two parents who had been enslaved, William Still was drawn to anti-slavery work from a young age. Hired as a clerk at the Anti-Slavery office in Philadelphia after teaching himself to read and write, he began directly assisting enslaved people who were crossing over from the South into freedom. Andrew Diemer captures the full range and accomplishments of Still’s life, from his resistance to Fugitive Slave Laws and his relationship with John Brown before the war, to his long career fighting for citizenship rights and desegregation until the early 20th century.

I have read histories of the Underground Railroad and recently enjoyed The Agitators about Harriet Tubman, Mrs. Seward, and others involved in aiding fugitives seeking freedom from slavery. William Still worked with Tubman and others in Philadelphia and spent much of his adult life helping the Black community. What a lively and well-researched and told biography this is. I enjoyed it and learned a lot.
