about

"The Ballad of Alexander Henry" is Higher Education's third independent studio album. The record is named after their great-grandfather who left Scotland for America in 1855. On the Ship Franklin King from Liverpool, England. On board the ship African people were being transported across the Atlantic Ocean to be sold into slavery. Alexander was horrified and sickened by the treatment of these human beings. Once in port he spoke out openly against their mistreatment. One morning while looking through the local newspaper, he read that he Alexander Henry had been hung in the town square as a slave sympathizer "They must have got the wrong man" (Gasoline)
