Pathway of Resistance: The Erie Canal and the Abolition Movement


*The event has already taken place on this date: Thu, 02/25/2021
Join the Erie Canal Museum on Thursday, February 25th at 12 p.m. for its first Lunchtime Lecture of the year with a look at the abolition movement along the Erie Canal based on our well received “Pathways of Resistance” walking tour. In this virtual presentation, Museum Educator Derrick Pratt will discuss the institution of slavery in New York state itself, economic opportunities found along the newly constructed Canal by African Americans, how the Canal played an important role in the abolition movements development, and what role the canal may have played in the Underground Railroad.
