About this Event
February is Black History Month! To make our Forging Freedom: Endurance, Escape, and Rockville’s Underground exhibit more accessible, Peerless Rockville is offering it as a presentation online on Zoom.
Forging Freedom: Endurance, Escape, and Rockville’s Underground Railroad is an exhibit on the story of Rockville in the era of the Underground Railroad, when slavery cast a shadow over life in this farming town, and separatist tensions steadily propelled the nation towards war. Come learn about the brave fugitives who fled slavery in Rockville, the abolitionist network that helped, and the endurance of the enslaved community.
This is an online presentation through Zoom. Upon registration, you will receive the link to the Zoom broadcast.
