Welcome to the intersection of faith in the culture. It's the wallblower show where we're

taking on the hot topics of the day for a biblical historical and constitutional perspective.

A little later in the program, we'll have Congressman Roger Williams with us. For now, it's

David and Tim Barton and Rick Green. We're going to talk about our hero of history for today.

Tim, man, what number are we on? You've covered a lot of these over the last couple of weeks.

Yeah, I think it's number 14. And as we have pointed out on the program before, all this information

is available at wallblower.com. People can go there if they want to download, follow along,

read along. And this is certainly not even close to scratching the surface of so many of these

American heroes. And really, these are, we're talking about the American hero series. This is

the black heroes of American history. And we already have a very long list for next February.

And I mean, people that we celebrate throughout the years, some just incredible contributions.

And so this one is Clara Brown. She was known as the Angel of the Rockies. Her story is one,

not dissimilar from some, and that there's a lot of tragedy involved. There's a lot of faith involved.

Someone who's a very strong believer in God was a very outspoken Christian did a lot to promote

a Christian ministry. And ultimately, in her story, there's at least somewhat of a bow on the end of her story.

It even reminds me a little bit of like, it's a wonderful life at the very end of her story.

But Clara was born in 1800 in Tennessee. She and her mother were sold in the slavery when she was 18.

She married a man named Richard. They had four children. 17 years later, the owner died.

They divide the estate. And she is taken away from her family.

She ends up going to Kentucky where she's then in slavery in Kentucky, finally, that owner dies.

That owner left her a lot of money. Apparently she was very liked on some level by the owner.

She's able to take the money and buy her freedom. And then decides that she really would like to find her family.
