CES-7578Midnight: Detroit & the Underground Railroad

Course Description

Codenamed Midnight, Detroit was a vital station on the Underground Railroad where thousands crossed the Detroit River to freedom in Canada. Detroit abolitionists helped freedom seekers evade slave catchers and local law enforcement along their way. Detroit's abolitionist community was fierce in their support of runaways, despite local opposition. Detroit Historical Society Assistant Curator, Billy Winkel, will share Detroit's abolitionist story. Doors open at 11:15am. Full, buffet lunch served including vegetarian and gluten free options. All proceeds support student scholarships.
