Launching this year, UREC’s Black Experience Exhibit Series features stories that illuminate Black history in the Capital Region and beyond. Designed to travel, the pop-up exhibits move from one community space to the next, ensuring Black history remains visible and accessible.
In order for Underground Railroad Education Center to continue to expand its outreach and share the empowering reinterpretation of underground railroad history and its relevance for us today, UREC needs a facility fully dedicated to programs, events, exhibits, video documentary production and viewing, research, workforce development, children’s engagement, and the arts. This facility would be the Interpretive Center of Underground Railroad Education Center.
Visit The Stephen and Harriet Myers Residence for a journey through the real story of the Black Abolitionist movement and celebrate the thousands of unsung, everyday heroes who worked to move our country closer to true democracy.
