[Michlib-l] Upcoming Virtual Event at BPL- Midnight: Detroit and the Underground Railroad

[Mick Howey]

Please join us on Zoom at 7:00 PM on Monday, February 27th, 2023
for Midnight: Detroit and the Underground Railroad.

Codenamed Midnight, Detroit was a vital station on the Underground
Railroad. Thousands crossed the river to freedom in Canada from Detroit.
Detroit abolitionists helped freedom seekers from the south evade slave
catchers and local law enforcement on their way to Canada. Detroit’s
abolitionist community were fierce in their support of runaways in the face
of severe local opposition. Despite this opposition, Detroit’s
abolitionists persisted. Bill Winkel, Assistant Curator of the Detroit
Historical Society, joins us to share the freedom seekers and Detroit’s
abolitionist community. This is a virtual event. Registration is required
to receive the Zoom link. Tap https://tinyurl.com/4cczcm54 to register

Hope to see you there!
