Hudson Valley Abolitionists

In honor of Black History Month in 2021, Examiner News featured a story about people in the lower Hudson Valley who had important roles in the social network and movement commonly referred to as the Underground Railroad or UGRR. E+ is pleased to expand upon the breadth and depth of that story today.

Where they still exist, places or landmarks serve as tangible artifacts that help us relate to the past. But it is the stories of the people ― the freedom seekers; the people who assisted them; and people persevering today to uncover facts and preserve history ― who are the life’s blood of this ongoing story.
