Alexander Clark Helps a Fugitive Slave

Before the Civil War, some slaves escaped their slave owners and went to free states like Iowa. In this clip from the Lost in History: Alexander Clark documentary, historian David Broadnax tells the story of Jim White, a former slave who was working in Iowa and was helped by Alexander Clark in 1848.
