The LONG Journey plus Convention of Colored Freemen

  • サマリー

  • This week, Kate describes the long tedious trip for early settlers to journey to their new homes in Haliburton County. Plus, Paul has the story of the American Convention of Colored Freemen held at Toronto's St Lawrence Hall in September 1851. It was an opportunity for North American Black and White leaders to gather and discuss issues facing free and escaped Blacks from the US. Canada was a safe space to hold the Covention - especially given the American Fugitive Slave Act that had resulted in escaped salaves being returned to slavery in the South, and even instances of free Blacks being kidnapped and sold into slavery without legal recourse.

    Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices. Haliburton County is in cottage country about 2 1/2 hours north of Toronto. You can contact us at timewarp@canoefm.com
