  • Seeking Charlie: Connecting the Dots Lef by a Freedom Seeker in Illinois
    Seeking Charlie: Connecting the Dots Left by a Freedom Seeker in Illinois “In an indictment for secreting a negro slave, it is not necessary to allege the name of the slave; it is a sufficient description to aver him to be ‘a certain negro slave, the property of one A B.’”1 Old Charley, Old Free Charlie Wilson, Charles Green, Charles Farnsworth and at least three other Charlies without surnames in the historical record appear throughout Illinois in the 1840s and 1850s. Some are recorded as free people of color, and some are enslaved men seeking freedom by attempted escape to Canada. Any of them could have been working with known white radical abolitionist and folk artist Sheldon Peck who lived in Babcock’s Grove (Lombard, Illinois) and traveled throughout the region for his portrait painting business. A remnant of the legacy of slavery in the United States is the obliterated identity of people considered property in the eyes of the law. The racist and dehumanizing efforts of slave owners to remove individual identity from enslaved peoples produced a contemporary challenge to telling complete stories, thereby continuing the ripple-effect of the legacy of slavery to modern day. The motivation for seeking Charlie’s story is to tell a more complete history of the Underground Railroad in Illinois, thereby recognizing that people of color were not invisible as Americans, despite historians’ failure to see them. In every “Charlie” located in the historical record, anticipation and excitement was felt that a more complete story of Old Charley could be told, with evidence linking him to other stories of Charlie around Illinois.
