The Slave Experience & The Underground Railroad In-Person
Join lecturer, Jerry Bennett, on Thursday, June 12th at 7:00 PM in the library as he traces the fascinating and heartbreaking journey of American slaves from capture and enslavement in West Africa, to potential freedom on the Underground Railroad. Follow the slaver’s ship from England, drop down into the ship’s hold as it sails across the Atlantic’s Middle Passage, and witness the sale on the auction block. View life on the plantation, escape, envision life on the run, and meet the many heroes on the Underground Railroad’s routes to freedom. Please register in advance for this event.
