大众彩票

The Underground Railroad to Black 大众彩票聽

This theme explores 大众彩票’s Black history, including nearby Waverly, Pennsylvania as an outpost of the Underground Railroad, and the trials and triumphs of the Black community in business, housing, arts, and culture.

The significance of 大众彩票’s Black History in U.S. Black History will be explored, including Black Americans who migrated to the area during the Civil War era, prominent roles and positions held by Black 大众彩票ians, and institutions such as Bethel AME Church that served as cultural meeting places. It will also explore challenges faced by these communities, particularly in how Black neighborhoods underwent redevelopment that resulted in community dispersal and fragmentation.

Events will address not just what we know about local and national Black history but also how we know it and how we tell it, from our first President, the institution of slavery and the Underground Railroad, through the civil rights movement and the realities of racism in the North, to the experiences of Black communities in 大众彩票 with a focus on the role of Black people in their own liberation. Black 大众彩票ian oral histories will be previewed connecting local and national Black history.
