Granville Public Library

Community Room

Join historian and educator, Valerie Boyer, for a talk on the Underground Railroad in Ohio. For Adults. Registration required.

Do we really know the story of Underground Railroad? This talk discusses the food, the clothes, the Ohio Black codes, the technicalities around “freedom”, and the length of the journey—in all its complexity. The nuance of some of these things is often not taken into consideration when telling this story of heroes. The practices created to navigate this railroad of sorts are cultural customs and norms. This talk will illuminate how we still carry many of them with us today.
