Sunday @ 3:00 PM, Monday @ 9:30 AM and Wednesday @ 8:00 AM
What would you do for freedom? What risks would you take and what hardships would you endure? These questions were ever present for the enslaved Africans prior to American Civil War. This month’s Along the Blackstone takes us on a journey to understand what it was that finally made those enslaved to risk everything for a chance at freedom. Learn about the National Park Service’s Underground Railroad Initiative and powerful stories of underground railroad activity from New Bedford, the African-American Meeting House in Boston and here in the Blackstone Valley.
