In honor of the opening of the Ellen Garrison Buil $In honor of the opening of the Ellen Garrison Building at the Concord Middle School this morning, here is a little Ellen trivia to brighten your day. This is Ellen's "passport". It was created in 1854. Although we don't know if she ever used it in practice, it's telling that as a free, northern woman of color she wanted an extra layer of protection for potential travel to the South in the time period before the Civil War. Just four years earlier, the Fugitive Slave Act was passed by Congress and Bleeding Kansas was about to erupt further dividing a nation already bitterly fractured over the issue of slavery in the country. The passport also gives clues to her physical description, including the fact that she had curly black hair and was only 5 foot 2 inches tall.$
