Florida's Freedom Seekers and the Underground Railroad

Time: 2:00 pm til 3:00 pm

Location: Downtown Central Library, 1301 Barcarrota blvd W, Bradenton

Description: A presentation by Reflections of Manatee:

Angola was a community of freedom seekers that in the 1810s was located between the Manatee River and Sarasota Bay. It was a place of refuge and peace until it was destroyed in a massive slave raid in 1821. What were the events that brought the freedom seekers to the Manatee River? What happened to those who were captured, and those who escaped? Sherry Svekis of Reflections of Manatee will tell the story of how the evidence for Angola was compiled by historians and archaeologists, leading to its recognition as a National Park Service Underground Railroad Network to Freedom site.

Tea and cookies will be served.
