Explore the historic presence of African Americans in Bucks County, from the 1700s through emancipation.  As the Revolutionary War was starting, Pennsylvania Quakers launched an early movement to end slavery in Bucks County.  This movement continued as the Underground Railroad in the 19th century. We will explore African American history in Bucks looking at manumission papers & maps and then wet-felt a muffler/scarf (used to disguise a couple who escaped from Georgia to Philadelphia) to remember this history and journey.

NOTE: Cassandra Stancil Gunkle will be a guest speaker while Nichole is away on maternity leave!

When: Monday 1/14 at 6-7:30 PM and Tuesday, 1/15 at 10-11:30 AM
