Pathway of Resistance: The Erie Canal and the Underground Railroad

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

Pathway of Resistance: The Erie Canal and 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. While parts of this story are unpleasant, slavery, racism, and resistance are critical to understanding our society today

 

Steph Adams (they/them) is the Interpretation Director at the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse, NY. Originally from Sherrill, NY, Steph received a B.A. in Art History from SUNY Geneseo and dual M.A. degrees in Art History and Museum Studies from Syracuse University.
