Details

Join us for our first event as part of this year’s Civic Season! Civic Season unites our oldest federal holiday – July 4th – with our newest – Juneteenth – by mobilizing a movement to understand our past and shape our future. Hear stories of local involvement in anti-slavery activities and the Underground Railroad. Learn about how Northeastern Illinois was the strongest area of anti-slavery sentiment in the state in this virtual program.

We will not be recording this presentation. 

A Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants at least one hour prior to the start of the program. If you do not receive the link, please check your junk/SPAM folder. Please email [email protected] if you haven't received the link by 11:00 AM.
