Ward - Freedom Fighter & Business Pioneer , a powerful historical account that sheds light on the remarkable life of John T. Ward, born a slave and freed as a child, who became a fearless abolitionist and a successful businessman. This meticulously researched book blends personal history with historical events, offering readers an insightful narrative of resilience, empowerment, and the fight against oppression.
John T. Ward's story is one of courage and determination. Born into slavery, he overcame unimaginable adversity to become an instrumental figure in the fight for freedom. His efforts in the Underground Railroad helped countless individuals escape bondage, solidifying his place in history as a true champion of justice. Yet, his contributions extended beyond the abolitionist movement. Ward was also a pioneering entrepreneur, laying the foundation for a Black-owned business that has continued to operate in Columbus, Ohio, since 1881.
A fifth-generation descendant of John T. Ward, Shanna Ward grew up immersed in the legacy of her family's business and the whispers of an extraordinary past. Her journey to uncover her ancestor's story led her deep into historical archives, genealogical research, and personal narratives that had been long overlooked. What began as a simple exploration of her family's past soon evolved into a mission to share the enduring legacy of John T. Ward with the world.
The Untold Legacy of John T. Ward is a testament to the resilience of those who fought for freedom against overwhelming odds. Through painstaking research and compelling storytelling, Ward brings to life the struggles and triumphs of a man whose contributions to history deserve greater recognition. By weaving together historical facts and personal accounts, the book offers readers an intimate look into the life of a hero whose impact spans generations.
"In sharing the story of John T. Ward, I hope to inspire others to seek out and preserve their own family histories," commented Ward. "His courage and vision continue to serve as a beacon of hope, reminding us of the power of resilience and the importance of honoring the past."
