Pathway of Resistance: The Erie Canal and the Underground Railroad

Pathway of Resistance: The Erie Canal and the Underground Railroad In-Person

Join Derrick Pratt from the Erie Canal Museum as we investigate our local pathways on the Underground Railroad. This constantly evolving talk examines the experience of African-Americans along the Erie Canal Corridor, with a particular focus on the struggle for abolition. With moments of tragedy and triumph, this story exemplifies how learning about slavery, racism, and resistance is still crucial to our understanding of current society. Sponsored by Friends of BML.
