What Makes John Brown a Social Justice Hero
Why do important people that help other people not get credit for a holiday. A social justice hero is a person who does something special to help the world or someone. John Brown was born on May 9,1800, he was born in Torrington, Connecticut, and he died at just 59 years old. John Brown deserves a holiday because he is kind, brave, and fearful and he would do anything to help people.
First John Brown is a very brave person. John Brown is a brave person because he did so many things, he fathered twenty children, he was a tanner, he was a farmer, wool merchant, and a land speculator and he was brave enough to do all of that and still take care of himself. Another reason why he’s brave is because he stood up for the poor because he despised the poor and really wanted to do something to help them. He was a very brave person.
Second John Brown was a very kind person. He was a kind person because he offered to establish his own farm in New York to help everybody there. Also , John Brown and his wife decided to raise a black youth as one of their own. That is why he was a very kind person he really wanted to help people.
Last John Brown was a very fearful person. Even though John Brown lacked on his funds that did not mean he was going to stop fighting for slavery and people. Another reason why he was a fearful person is because he was willing to die to end slavery and to save people, a lot of people said he was a prophet of righteousness. He was a kind person because he helped slavery.
Because of John Brown saving slavery with his kindness , his bravery, and his fearfulness. I believe John Brown should have a national holiday. Some people believe that someone who deserves a holiday should be out in the world and everybody talking about that person how great they are but I believe a person who tried their hardest to save someone and be a good person and help someone when they needed there help should deserve a holiday.
