Black History Month - The Underground Railroad

Tuesday, 23 February 2010

Celebrating Black History Month, we remember Baptist involvement in the Underground Railroad that helped slaves escape from the United States to freedom in eastern Canada.

Because slavery in the United States wasn’t abolished until the end of the Civil War in 1865, more than 100,000 slaves managed to find freedom by escaping to Canada. Along with Christians of many other denominations, Baptists were actively involved in helping slaves to freedom.
