What Happened to Freedom Seekers After Escaping Slavery?

Explore the Underground Railroad, and why it was not the end, but the beginning of a new chapter in the struggle for freedom. Life after slavery often centered around churches like The Salem Chapel in St. Catharines, Ontario, where great abolitionists like Harriet Tubman played a key role in helping people stand on their feet. Follow Cory to the “final stop” as he uncovers the power of community!
