In the 1850s, Langston was part of abolitionist efforts that included the Underground Railroad in Ohio and abolitionist efforts. He lived in Leavenworth, Kansas, 1862 to 1868 (Andreas). He moved to the Lawrence area in 1870, where he farmed and worked in the grocery business at 820 Massachusetts St. This granite stone was placed on the Oak Hill gravesite in 1991 by Pinckney School students.
