The Under Ground Railroad in Detroit

Thursday, September 7, 2017 | 6:00pm - 8:00pm

Jamon Jordan, founder of the Black Scroll Network, will discuss how abolitionists worked to destroy slavery and share how Detroit, and the Detroit River area, was one of, if not the most important area of the Underground Railroad. Was the abolitionist movement the first civil rights movement in America? Mr. Jordan will discuss this and important strategic sites, such as the Second Baptist Church of Detroit, and significant events including The Robert Cromwell escape.
