Here John Brown aimed at human slavery a blow that woke a guilty nation.
With him fought seven slaves.
Over his crucified corpse marched 200,000 Black soldiers and 4,000,000 freedmen singing, "John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave but his soul goes marching on!"
In gratitude this tablet is erected the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. May 21, 1932.
