This is Karen Hunter and welcome to the hub.

Good morning, Newbians. Good afternoon if you're joining us in other places far flung. Good evening if you're even further or closer. Hey Dr. Carr, how you doing? Hey Professor Hunter, I am doing fine. How are you this beautiful,

beautiful day? It is a beautiful day. We are here. We are in our right minds and bodies and we got work to do. I'm just every day just so

grateful for this space. Yes. I'm so grateful to be in community and I'm so

grateful to learn.

I did not get a chance this week on my radio show to do this.

So I just indulge me for a minute.

I wanted to, I know we did a whole you should know in inside

narrative. Hey Lubeans. Y'all check that out we spent I think then we

did two sections we ended up going along we had to break it up into two sessions.

Yeah, it was that good because, you know, as this thing crumbles and falls apart, those people who may be melonemic or who may fancy themselves allies.

So great.

Yes, yes.

If you ain't ally in like John Brown.

So this week in 1859 December 2nd, John Brown was hanged, but before he took his last breath breath this is what he had to say and I just wanted to play for us.

Just to read just to remind okay. Absolutely. Oh, I got a hit. I got a hit play over here.

All right.

That's what that share screen thing is all about.

I have, may it please the court, a few words to say.

In the first place, I deny everything but what I have all along admitted, the design

on my part to free the slaves. I intended certainly to have made a clean thing of that matter as I did last winter when I went into Missouri and there took slaves without the snapping of a gun on either side, moved them through the country, and finally left them in Canada.

I designed to have done the same thing again on a larger scale.
