Wilson Bruce Evans House
Wilson Bruce Evans House, also known as LOR-239-21, is a house in Oberlin, Ohio and was a major stop on the Underground Railroad. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1997.〔〔 and 〕
==History==
The Evans house was the home of Wilson Bruce Evans, a prominent African-American abolitionist and early benefactor of Oberlin College, the first college to admit students of color. Evans rose to national attention after his importance in the 1858 Oberlin-Wellington Rescue, one of the events that challenged the controversial Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/underground/oh5.htm )〕 Although Evans was not an outspoken abolitionist like his colleagues Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass, Evans was cited as a man who "put justice above his own safety." The house was a frequent stop for travelers on the Underground Railroad such as Harriet Tubman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nps.gov/subjects/ugrr/discover_history/vignette_details.htm?ID=10750 )〕
