Honestly I don't see the difference between John Brown and Abraham Lincoln, they were both assassinated for the same reason. Except John Brown advocated immediate, violent insurrection, while Lincoln pursued a cautious, gradual, and lawful political path to ultimately abolish the institution. Now the Black version of these two White individuals in our modern time would be MalcolmX(John Brown) Vs Martin Luther King(Abraham Lincoln)

President Abraham Lincoln was sitting in this rocking chair during a production of Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., when he was assassinated on April 14, 1865. Henry Ford purchased the chair in 1929 for his museum which is located in Dearborn, Michigan. Lincoln's blood stains are still seen on the upper half of the chair.
