The freedom of Thornton and Lucie Blackburn became a cause célèbre in the mid 1830s, sparking a race riot in Detroit & a diplomatic incident with Canada. Runaway slaves, Thornton & Lucie eventually settled in Toronto & worked tirelessly with other abolitionists against the slavery they had left behind in the Southern States.
