I'm a native Kansan... and ya know, we didn't get anywhere near anything like that, although I would have said I got a decent education with reference to what is offered today. I don't remember hearing anything about John Brown, except maybe in passing, in class. And it wasn't until I started researching and reading on my own that I learned of the Underground Railroad close to where I lived a few years ago in KcK.
