Despre activitate
Discover the secret and not so secret networks of private residences, religious institutions, meeting houses, and safe houses used by the enslaved fleeing northward to escape slavery. Contrary to what most people think, New York was a pro-slavery place during the antebellum period. Abolitionists, free Blacks and escapees were in a hostile environment. Slave catchers menaced the streets of New York, looking for fugitives but would often kidnap free Blacks men, women, and children sending them south for a life of servitude. Discover Manhattan's many places and the faces of the people who were part of the Underground Railroad. Their selfless efforts helped countless enslaved Africans to break the bonds of slavery.
Walking from Fort Amsterdam, passing by Tribeca, to the African Burial Ground Memorial. We will visit... key landmarks.

The building here was constructed in 1842 as the United States Custom House. The original Federal Hall, erected in 1700 as the second city hall of the colony of New York, no longer stands. The United States government came to life on this site where in 1789 George Washington took the oath of office as the first president of the United States of America
“Even as antislavery gained white adherents, grassroots activism and a critique of white racism defined black abolitionism in New York. No issue weighed heavier on black New Yorkers than the threat of kidnapping as slave catchers from the South flooded into the city. David Ruggles

The new racial hierarchy that developed as a means to justify American slavery quickly became entrenched in American society. The degree to which this racial philosophy dictated Americans’ perceptions of the world is reflected in the four statues here outside the historic Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House and National Museum of the American Indian.

Still, today, it seems that the belief in human races, carrying along with it the prejudice and hatred of racism, is so embedded in our culture and has been an integral part of our worldview for so long that many of us assume that it just must be true
