Herkimer College to Host A Friend of a Friend: Tales of the Underground Railroad

Herkimer College will host A Friend of a Friend: Tales of the Underground Railroad on Wednesday, March 13th from 1:25 p.m. to 2:25 p.m. in the Robert McLaughlin College Center, room 247. This presentation is free and open to the public.

This original docu-play, developed by theREP, uses New York State archival documents to bring to life the impact of the Fugitive Slave Act in the Capital Region. The story tells the intense moral struggles of several local residents who produced an anti-slavery newspaper and risked their freedom to be conductors on the Underground Railroad.
