Discover the pivotal role Bucks County played in the Underground Railroad, a network that helped enslaved individuals escape to freedom. With a special focus on local Quakers, this lecture delves into how local abolitionists, both black and white, worked together to support freedom seekers on their journey north. Learn about the courageous actions of these individuals and the Underground Railroad stations that dotted the county, especially those in Yardley Borough, where the proximity to the Delaware River made it a critical stop along the route to freedom. The lecture will also include a tribute to the African American Civil War veterans buried at Slate Cemetery in Lower Makefield Township, recognizing their sacrifices in the fight for freedom and equality.
