Shadrach Minkins (1814?December 13, 1875) was an African-American fugitive slave from Virginia who escaped in 1850 and reached Boston. He is known for being freed from a courtroom in Boston after being captured by United States marshals under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. White and black members of the Boston Vigilance Committee freed and hid him, helping him get to Canada via the Underground Railroad. Minkins settled in Montreal where he raised a family. Two men were prosecuted in Boston for helping free him, but they were acquitted by the jury. == Early life == Minkins was born into slavery about 1814 in Norfolk, Virginia.〔Gary Collison, ''Shadrach Minkins: From Fugitive Slave to Citizen'', Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press (1998 paperback reprint), pp. 11-13.
