The Road to Freedom: Anti-Slavery Activity in Greenfield
Racial Justice Rising, a local anti-racism organization, presents at its monthly free Saturday program, The Road to Freedom: Anti-Slavery Activity in Greenfield MA, with Momodou Sarr and Joan Featherman.
In the 1800’s, Greenfield was home to an active regional abolition group, the Franklin County Anti-Slavery Society and was the site of several Underground Railway safe houses. The presenters will draw parallels between the multi-faceted strategies used in the 1800’s to defeat slavery and strategies we can use now to defeat racism and other injustices.
If the program is cancelled due to weather, check the Racial Justice Rising website at www.racialjusticerising.org and Facebook page or listen to WHAI, 98.3 FM, by 7 AM that day.
This program is supported in part by grants from area Local Cultural Councils, agencies which are supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
