Highlights
Discover the secret and not so secret networks of private residences, religious institutions, meeting houses, and safe houses used by the enslaved fleeing northward to escape slavery. Contrary to what most people think, New York was a pro-slavery place during the antebellum period. Abolitionists, free Blacks and escapees were in a hostile environment. Slave catchers menaced the streets of New York, looking for fugitives but would often kidnap free Blacks men, women, and children sending them south for a life of servitude. Discover Manhattan's many places and the faces of the people who were part of the Underground Railroad. Their selfless efforts helped countless enslaved Africans to break the bonds of slavery.
Walking from Fort Amsterdam, passing by Tribeca, to the African Burial Ground Memorial. We will visit... key landmarks.
