- There are many goosebump-inducing moments in Lewis Hayden’s life story, but one of them happened in 1825 when he was just 14 years old, his mother and siblings already sold away, his own life traded as chattel slavery for two horses.
The Revolutionary War hero, the Marquis de Lafayette was making his triumphal return to the United States, including Lexington. As he rode past, Hayden recounted, he locked eyes with Hayden and gave a little bow.
“At that moment, he knew he would be free,” said organizer Mark Steven Watkins at the Juneteenth dedication of a monument to Hayden and his wife, Harriet. “Lewis Hayden kept going toward freedom.”
“Towards Freedom,” the bronze statue of the Haydens by artist Basil Watson was unveiled Thursday to huge fanfare from a big crowd in Lexington’s East End, a monument to the Underground Railroad that helped the Haydens escape to Boston in 1844 to become prominent abolitionists who helped many more.

The 74-year-old had lived in the Sunshine Hills neighborhood outside London, Kentucky, for 50 years and known it all her life. It was once her family’s farm, acres of rolling hills and towering trees.
As a young widow, Fisher returned to the land and built a house at the bottom of one of the hills in front of a gently flowing creek. She raised her two children in the three-bedroom house.
She worked at First National Bank in London, gardened in her yard and worshiped at Pine Grove Baptist Church.
But late on the night of May 16, the hills provided no haven.
Fisher’s house lay directly in its path at the bottom of the hill. In just minutes, Fisher and eight of her neighbors were dead as the ugly storm roared across Laurel County like a runaway locomotive.
