About Jane Johnson

Jane Johnson was an African-American slave who gained freedom for herself and her two sons on July 18, 1855. Pennsylvania had abolished slavery within the state in the 1840s, but her enslaver, John H. Wheeler, voluntarily brought Johnson and her two young sons to Philadelphia while en route to New York City. She was aided in her escape by William Still and attorney Passmore Williamson, abolitionists of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society and its Vigilance Committee.
