The Underground Railroad in Ohio

The Underground Railroad in Ohio In-Person

The Underground Railroad was a network of clandestine routes and safe houses established in the United States during the early- to the mid-19th century. It was used by enslaved African Americans primarily to escape into free states and Canada. There are many myths and real-accounts about how the system functioned in the nineteenth century. Ohio played a pivotal role in the anti-slavery movement through leadership and safehouses.  Presented by Kent State University professor, Molly Sergi.
