SUMMARY:North to Freedom - a hybrid screening event hosted by UREC
DESCRIPTION:“North to Freedom\,” an original documentary from WSKG Public Television and filmmaker Brian Frey\, examines the important role Upstate New York played in the Underground Railroad during the years leading up to and during the American Civil War. The Central and Southern Tier of the state\, including the Finger Lakes region\, served as crucial passages and ultimate destinations for those seeking freedom\, offering hope and refuge to enslaved Americans. Binghamton\, Elmira\, Owego\, Ithaca\, Syracuse\, Peterboro\, and dozens of other communities provided safe houses\, churches\, and sanctuaries along the route from the South. \nThe film highlights the heroic efforts of local church leaders\, those formerly enslaved\, and ordinary citizens\, all deeply committed to the abolitionist cause and taking great risks just to do the right thing. These individuals helped build a vast clandestine intelligence network of information and safe harbors\, aiding hundreds of freedom seekers whose ultimate journey often led them across the Great Lakes to Canada. “North to Freedom” also shines a light on lesser-known figures of the Underground Railroad\, exploring the rise of passionate abolitionism in New York State in the first half of the 19th century and illustrating how the words and actions of people from diverse religious and ethnic backgrounds fueled the movement that ultimately helped bring an end to slavery in America. \nDionne Patterson has a starring role in this documentary. She will introduce the documentary and be available after the screening to engage in a virtual conversation with viewers. \nThose who would like to join Paul and Mary Liz at The Myers Residence to view in person\, please do so. \nThose who would like to view the documentary virtually\, please use this zoom link — https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86069860093?pwd=0w5Q1xzRb5KRwhmuKvDXjJUe9iEQbV.1
