About this Event
Detroit, once known by the code name “Midnight,” was one of the last and most important stops on the Underground Railroad and home to a robust Black-led community of anti-slavery activists, many of whom are buried at Elmwood.
On June 14 at 11 a.m., join Jamon Jordan, Official Historian of the City of Detroit, for a tour exploring the history and context of the Underground Railroad in Detroit and Michigan. On this dynamic two-hour walking tour from one of the city's most engaging storytellers, you'll meet freedom seekers, abolitionist leaders, Black veterans, Reconstruction-era politicians and others who helped change the story of freedom in the United States forever.
Elmwood is proud to be a significant site on the National Park Service’s Underground Railroad Network to Freedom.
