SUMMARY:Austerlitz Historical Society - A New Interpretation of an Old Story
DESCRIPTION:Join Paul and Mary Liz Stewart at The Austerlitz Historical Society on sunday\, September 17 at 2pm for a riveting dive into a new interpretation of Underground Railroad history and its relevance for us today. \nIndependent researchers and co-founders of Underground Railroad Education Center\, Paul and Mary Liz Stewart bring their seminal research on the Underground Railroad movement to the public. The Underground Railroad\, often remembered as being characterized by tunnels\, dark of night escapes\, coded language and hidey-holes\, was far more extensive and complex than these ideas have led us to believe.  In the midst of significant pro-slavery sentiment\, New York State was home to many abolitionists working to abolish the institution of slavery in our state and nation and it was visited by many who had escaped enslavement and sought a life of freedom. Join with the Stewarts as they share a new interpretation of a very old story and explain the various initiatives in which Underground Railroad Education Center\, Inc. is engaged as it works to connect the public with this local history and its relevance for us today.

SUMMARY:League of Women Voters offers a Panel Presentation with YALI teens n 'What to do with Phil'
DESCRIPTION:Should he stay or should he go? Whether you agree or disagree with the decision to move the Philip Schuyler statue\, save the evening of 9/28 at 7PM to hear from the teens of the 2022 Young Abolitionist Leadership Institute\, a program of the Underground Railroad Education Center\, who investigated this topic and ultimately recommended moving the statue. As noted in their report: “The question about what to do with Phil is not just about the Philip Schuyler statue. It is a question about how does New York State\, and in turn its capital city\, admit to its less than savory past\, own up to its investment in the institution of enslavement\, and work diligently to confront and change the contemporary impact of the legacy of the institution of enslavement.” \nJoin with the League of Women Voters\, Underground Railroad Education Center\, and Young Abolitionist Leadership Institute teens on Thursday\, September 28 at 7pm for a virtual panel presentation and conversation about the Philip Schuyler statue and the teen implemented process that led to its removal from in front of Albany City Hall. \nPlease register for this informative Zoom program.  \n

SUMMARY:Passengers On the Underground Railroad – Who are They? What are their Stories?
DESCRIPTION:That we might bring their stories to life\, acknowledge their courage and fortitude\, and embed them in their rightful place in the Underground Railroad story\, Underground Railroad Education Center has developed a list of 135 freedom seekers who came to  the Capital Region of New York State in the years before the Civil War. All we have are their names\, a little bit of their story and often the date when they came to the Capital Region. We want to know more.  \nTo this end we have initiated a short-term project with the help of a graduate student researcher who has been tasked with gathering additional information about these freedom seekers and their stories.   \nMaxam Daniels is a BA/MA advanced student at the University at Albany. He was recommended to us through the History Department\, and we have asked him to intern with us for 12.5 weeks to research these stories. As a step in his research and in our exploration of these stories we have asked him to research the 135 freedom seeker accounts collected by UREC. As he does so he will present\, at several junctures\, the research he has completed. The work he does will help us fill out the stories of these 135 people. \nThe third presentation is scheduled for Friday\, September 29th at 7pm – 8:30pm. This will be a hybrid event.  In-person will be held at The Myers Residence located at 194 Livingston Avenue in Albany. Light refreshments will be served.  \nJoin us on Friday\, August 25th at the Myers Residence or via Zoom to hear the second of a three-part series on the stories of the courageous freedom seekers who came to Albany on the Underground Railroad. For this event we ask you to consider making a donation of $20 or more to help fund the research costs connected with this effort. Donations will be accepted at the program or via the donation page on the UREC website at https://undergroundrailroadhistory.org/donate/  \n  \nThis will be a hybrid event. Click HERE to register in advance via zoom. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.Technology improvements will be in place to enhance the hybrid experience.  \n  \n
