Finding Wilberforce

William's Journey to His Destiny

Finding Wilberforce is the story of a young Black man's journey to his destiny as a keeper of history. This full- length historical fiction novel introduces 5th grade students and above to Daniel Payne, Thomas Clarkson, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Mary Bowser- an eclectic group of individuals who made a significant difference in history.

In collaboration with Hardy Brown, II, Christina Supe wrote and developed the complementary curriculum for the Footsteps to Freedom Underground Railroad Historical Empathy Tours for educators.

Using a reading-comprehension based writing focus, this one-of-a-kind curriculum includes interactive opportunities for both teachers and students.

Although designed to support classroom instruction upon returning home from the tour, the Finding Wilberforce classroom kits can be used by ANY teacher and students.

Order The Complete Set, and receive an all-access pass to our inaugural Finding Wilberforce Book Study Retreat to be held in July 2023! Space is EXTREMELY limited.

What about the K-4th Graders?

My Writing Coach has an exclusive series called Empathy and Me that is more appropriate for the K-4th grade students.

These writing tasks are based on picture books of relatively unknown people in history. There are opportunities to learn about Henry Box Brown, Charlotte E. Ray, William Still, and more.

The follow-up book to Finding Wilberforce will be released in Spring 2024. Titled The Other Side of Liberty, its content will follow young William aka "Billy" as he learns about Richmond, Charleston, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Rochester and the cities' importance as the Eastern Line of the Underground Railroad.

The Inspiration for Finding Wilberforce

Finding Wilberforce is a historical fiction novel inspired by Hardy Brown, II's personal journey to becoming one of the most respected keepers of history in California. Although dramatically fictionalized, the story of William captures the passion and dedication that Mr. Brown has for fulfilling his destiny.

He is the Managing Principal and Chief Relationship Officer for Footsteps to Freedom.

Mr. Brown and his family, legendary in the Inland Empire, were gifted The Gore Collection in 2016 upon Jerry Gore's passing.

With more than 15,000 artifacts in the collection and his continuous acquisition, Mr. Brown is sought after by both private and public entities for his expertise.

He recently curated an exhibit in conjunction with Butte County Office of Education in Chico. www.monca.org

Each year more than 250 educators participate in the Footsteps to Freedom Historic Study Tour. It helps educators understand history in a context to be able to teach with historical empathy. Finding Wilberforce can be used as a follow-up classroom connection to this unique life expanding experience.
