“Celia and Eliza's escape has crystallized the debate that had roiled national politics since before the Compromise of 1850. With no "positive law" allowing slavery in a territory, was the territory presumed to be free? This was the question that all expected would reach the U.S. Supreme Court.”
Gail Shaffer Blankenau, Journey to Freedom: Uncovering the Grayson Sisters' Escape from Nebraska Territory

“It is past time to place Nebraska's enslaved people at the center of their own history and recognize their courageous will in challenging their own enslavement.”
Gail Shaffer Blankenau, Journey to Freedom: Uncovering the Grayson Sisters' Escape from Nebraska Territory
