With the help of James C. A. Smith, a free black man, and a compassionate white shoemaker named Samuel A. Smith, Brown devised a plan to have himself shipped in a box to a free state by the Adams Express Company, known for its secrecy and reliability. Brown paid US$86 (equivalent to $2,643 in 2019) (out of his savings of $166) to Samuel Smith. Smith went to Philadelphia to consult with members of the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society on how to execute the escape, meeting with minister James Miller McKim, William Still, and Cyrus Burleigh. He collaborated with them to work out the plan after going back to Richmond. They advised him to mail the box to the office of Quaker merchant Passmore Williamson, who was in direct contact with the Vigilance Committee.

During the trip, which began on March 29, 1849, Brown's box was transported by wagon, railroad, steamboat, wagon again, railroad, ferry, railroad, and finally delivery wagon, being completed in 27 hours. Despite the instructions on the box of "handle with care" and "this side up," several times carriers placed the box upside-down or handled it roughly. Brown remained still and avoided detection.

The box was received by Williamson, McKim, William Still, and other members of the Philadelphia Vigilance Committee on March 30, 1849.  When Brown was released, one of the men remembered his first words as "How do you do, gentlemen?" He sang a psalm from the Bible, which he had earlier chosen to celebrate his release into freedom.

The price for freedom is always steep..
Freedom from poverty, you have to work really hard..
Freedom from a damned country called Nigeria, get your passport, work hard and jappa..
It's not gonna be easy but it will be worth it

Nothing is too big a price to pay for one's freedom. He did what he had to do to live life like a decent human.

I pray the price the Nigerian masses would pay to break free from mediocre leadership and a chain of suppressive governments wouldn't be all our lives.

Keep going about looking for potent boys, you idiotic fellow, one day you will be caught and hung by the balls.

What a wasted sperm*... To think millions of sperms* tried and this thing succeed, what a shame.

Below is the only reason I am engaging you nitwit,

"Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes. Like cutting off one's feet or drinking violence is the sending of a message by the hand of a fool."
› Bible Proverbs 26

But right now you want to drag me to your level of stupidity which I won't allow.
