== John Coburn ==
John Coburn (1811–1873) was a clothing retailer and community activist. He served as treasurer of
the New England Freedom Association, an organization dedicated to helping people escape from
slavery. In 1851 he was arrested, tried, and acquitted for the court-house rescue of Shadrach Minkins, a freedom seeker who was caught in Boston by federal slave catchers empowered by the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. Coburn was co-founder and captain of the Massasoit Guards, a black military company in 1850s Boston that was a precursor to the 54th Regiment Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title =Boston African American NHS Park Brochure, Side 2 ) 〕
