- catalog abstract "Barney Ford was an escaped slave who became a wealthy Colorado businessman and civil-rights pioneer. Born in 1822 to a white plantation owner and a black slave, he taught himself to read and write with the help of his mother. He escaped from a Mississippi river boat at the age of 26, and with the aid of the Underground Railroad he made his way to Chicago, where he became a barber. He met his wife, Julia Lyoni, there and they were married in 1849. After some unsuccessful attempts to get to California, they settled in Colorado, where they were very successful in a variety of businesses. There, Ford fought for civil rights laws including the Fifteenth Amendment. After he died in 1902, his contributions to Colorado were honored by a stained-glass window in the State Capitol, and by an elementary school named for him in Denver.--adapted from Wikipedia.".
