Lecture: Slave Experience and the Underground Railroad
Follow the slaver's ship from England to West Africa and across the Atlantic's Middle Passage toward the Americas; witness the sale on the auction block in the South; view life on the plantation; envision life on the run. You will also meet the many heroes, including Frederick Douglass, on the Underground Railroad's routes to freedom. Join Underground Railroad enthusiast Jerry Bennett as he shares his maps, songs, books, handouts, stories and visual aids in this presentation celebrating Black History Month and the 200th anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass on February 14.
