Program Description
Event Details
When people think of the Underground Railroad, they likely think of Harriet Tubman and other brave abolitionists who led enslaved people through dark forests and across steep mountain ranges. But most enslaved people actually escaped by boat. The Great Lakes served as a major route on the Underground Railroad.
Dr. Emilie Le Beau Lucchesi tells three harrowing stories of freshwater freedom seekers and the abolitionists who helped them cross the Great Lakes.
Dr. Lucchesi will be presenting the library. Please join us in the library!
