Staying in the hallway, move towards the back of the house, stopping before the archway, and select Track 6.
At the end of the hall to your right, you will see a glass display case with a decorative blue platter. This bowl depicts the Cape Coast Castle, on the west coast of Africa, from where slave ships such as those sent by John Brown would have traded for captive Africans. Above the platter is a posthumous portrait of John Brown's brother Moses. Moses, though involved in at least one slave voyage as a young man, became a Quaker and founder of the Providence Abolition Society. He was also the main financial backer of Slater Mill in what is now Pawtucket. His prominent role in the cotton/textile industry helped to further entwine the Rhode Island economy with that of the institution of slavery.
