This Event has Passed
Abolitionist Row and the Underground Railroad
Inspired by her own family history, Blake spent her life learning and teaching the importance of the Underground Railroad. Massachusetts was a free state and a safe haven for enslaved people seeking freedom. Oral histories, speeches and bank legers fleshed out the past. Boats came and went offering passage in and out of New Bedford, while Blake’s ancestors and others served as conductors, who raised funds for enslaved people’s freedom.
