Henry Bibb (1815-1854) was an abolitionist, author, lecturer, and journalist.
Born into slavery in Kentucky, Henry Bibb eventually escaped and joined the Anti-Slavery movement, travelling across the States to lecture. In 1850 the Fugitive Slave Act was passed, which increased the danger to Henry and his wife, Mary Bibb. The Bibbs migrated to Canada and settled in Sandwich (present day Windsor, Ontario), where Henry and Mary began publishing the first Black newspaper in Canada, the Voice of the Fugitive.
Henry Bibb was a member of the Anti-Slavery Society of Canada and was the President of the North American Convention of Colored Freemen.
