Maybe James Brown DIDN’T lead the raid on Harpers Ferry, but that’s some historical fiction I’d watch. https://t.co/GCcJyZiaMW

I would pay to see a movie where the Godfather of Soul, pompadour and all, led the Harpers Ferry raid… https://t.co/I6q8zj78kn

But you have to give John Brown this much: He was the hardest-working man in the abolition movement. https://t.co/vuzztrfzE4
