Intersting submitted by tshish on August 25, 2015, 11:07pm Great local history

A worthy read submitted by carol m on July 9, 2022, 12:44pm This is the first comprehensive history of the anti-slavery movement and Underground Railroad activism in Michigan. It is well-researched and documented. Many formerly enslaved people found a home in Michigan and contributed to the efforts to guide others finding freedom. Their stories provide a historical perspective on racial prejudice that can help guide us in understanding issues of social justice and equality in today's world.
