Underground Before the Railway: Escaping Slavery, Claiming Liberty

November 7 @ 6:00 pm 7:30 pm

On Zoom or in Boston. Free.

How did people resist the tyranny that the colonists imposed? More than a century before the famed Underground Railroad, Indigenous and Black people formed a network to help enslaved people escape. Sponsored by the Partnership of Historic Bostons. Presented by historians Margaret Newell and Linford Fisher, with Egypt Lloyd, co-founder of the Slave Legacy History Coalition.

Registration is required: https://historicbostons.org/

Free, but donations are gratefully accepted to support the Partnership who present these wonderful programs.

P.S. If you missed Wampanoag historian Linda Coombs’ excellent presentation on Oct. 24, A Nation in Balance: Right Relationship to the Land, you can watch a recording of it on the website at the same link provided above.
