But with the recent publication of Twain's Autobiography (2010), a piece he didn't allow to be published until a hundred years after his death, visitors to Hannibal now have a new character to discover! In his autobiography, Samuel Clemens revealed that he partially based his famous character Jim, runaway slave and friend of Huck Finn, off of a real Hannibalian born into slavery, Daniel Quarles. L
ocated in Hannibal, Missouri, Jim's Journey: The Huck Finn Freedom Center is a new kind of museum that documents the life of "the real Jim" and portrays how he and African Americans lived as slaves and free people from the 19th to the 21st century in Hannibal. In a town that celebrates all things Twain, Jim's Journey is dedicated to the legacy of not just Twain’s most complex yet locally under-represented literary figures, but the greater history of Twain's interaction with African Americans and his hometown's own black history. At Jim's Journey: The Huck Finn Freedom Center, we’ve created a place where residents and visitors now can explore this and other complex stories, celebrate the legacy of Jim, and learn about the African American history of Hannibal which he represents.

Hannibal Parks & Recreation personnel are getting ready for Veterans’ Day. The parade is 10 am Saturday, Nov. 11 with a ceremony afterward at the Veterans Memorial at Cardiff Hill Overlook.
Had a very nefarious visitor today. He came from StL because he saw me on C-Span. He talked a lot about himself "liked to travel, retired Air Force Academy instructor, school bus driver, had never read Huck Finn". He seemed to be a big fan of George Wallace and Donald tRump. I tried not to be too argumentative. Journey showed up and allowed me to cut the visit short.

Had a interesting private tour yesterday, a group led by Quincian, Crystal Young, came to learn more about Black history in Hannibal. As Quincy definitely needs to move beyond the history of "theUndergroundRailroad". I'd love to learn more about the local post-reconstruction 20th-century African American experience in our "town across the river".

StLouis friends showed up to learn how teaching Black history is done here in rural Missouri. It was a great exchange as I learned some Indigenous people history. They gifted Jim’s Journey with braided sweetgrass. All in all, sweetgrass is a plant medicine that represents strength and resilience in both family and the community and their connection with Mother Earth. Braiding of the sweetgrass plant is usually a group event that brings communities together and connects each member.

Just hosted my last Viking tour of the season. It was fantastic. People were sincerely pleased to have visited from all over the world. I'm most grateful for the bus driver's visit and comments, Sierra from New Orleans. She said, she's been wanting to come in, every time she drives, the passengers reboard telling her how much she had missed. This being the last tour of the season she saw it as her last chance. "Thank you for doing this work" is what I heard over and over.

I had the privilege of being on a panel with two very knowledgeable community historians. On my right is Roberta Roberts, Founder and Executive Director of the Brooklyn, IL Historical Society. Brooklyn is one of America's oldest occupied settlements founded in the 1820's by Freedom Seekers from Missouri. On my left is Gwen Moore with the Missouri Historical Museum and an expert on Millcreek, Mo. Millcreek was a once thriving African American community destroyed by stakeholders in the name of Urban Renewal. It was an awesome discussion as I was able to add Hannibal’s story of a "community within" - our journey from enslaved residents to segregation to integration (never without racial barriers). A resilient Black community contributing to America's Hometown.

St. Louis on October 14, 2023. The Mary Meachum Freedom Crossing, is where a hundred and fifty years ago, a group of enslaved Missourians attemped to cross the Mississippi to Illinois-freedom. Led by Mary Meacham, some escaped. This is where the escape group left Missouri’s shore - it became an historic site on the Mississippi River Waterfront Trail and a stop on the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom. The site houses both public art and a community building.

Hannibal has some very pretty downtown areas. But all this noise downtown is killing me-soo noisy from all sorts of vehicles-car mufflers, semi trucks, motorcycles, sirens and trains. All of this noise is about to run me back to the country.
