Durham The State of State History in Tennessee in 2008 The Underground Railroad in Tennessee to 1865 A Report by State Historian Walter T. Durham Tennessee State Library and Archives Department of State Nashville, Tennessee 37243 Jeanne D. Sugg State Librarian and Archivist Department of State, Authorization No. 305294, 2000 copies November 2008. This public document was promulgated at a cost of $1.77 per copy. Preface and Acknowledgments In 2004 and again in 2006, I published studies called The State of State History in Tennessee. The works surveyed the organizations and activities that preserve and interpret Tennessee history and bring it to a diverse public. This year I deviate by making a study of the Under- ground Railroad in Tennessee and bringing it into the State of State History series. No prior statewide study of this re- markable phenomenon has been produced, a situation now remedied. During the early nineteenth century, the number of slaves escaping the South to fi nd freedom in the northern states slowly increased. The escape methodologies and ex- perience, repeated over and over again, became known as the Underground Railroad. In the period immediately after the Civil War a plethora of books and articles appeared dealing with the Underground Railroad. Largely written by or for white men, the accounts contained recollections of the roles they played in assisting slaves make their escapes. There was understandable exag- geration because most of them had been prewar abolitionists who wanted it known that they had contributed much to the successful fl ights of a number of slaves, oft times at great danger to themselves.

Prince William County Virginia 3 INTRODUCTION First Baptist Church of Vienna (FBCV), a predominantly African American church founded by former slaves, is the first and oldest church in Vienna, Virginia having been erected at its original site at 315 Lawyers Road in 1867. Over 50 years ago, the congregation moved to the current location at 450 Orchard Street NW. In 1996, the edifice was expanded to accommodate the church’s focus on Christian worship, missionary activities, evangelism, community service and Christian education. FBCV, a missionary Baptist Church, is a paradigm for how the church can positively influence both the local and international community. At FBCV, the praises go up and the blessings continue to come down. Today, FBCV has 1083 individuals on its membership rolls with some 40 ministries that provide service, support, fellowship and outreach that extend far beyond the congregation to the international community. FBCV is known as a church that loves the Lord and loves each other. For the last 25 years, the church has been pastored by the Rev.

  • 2020 Annual Report
    Stability in Action Annual Report 2020 A Message from Mary Kate Wold Chief Executive Officer and President Dear Friends: To say these past several months have been challenging would be an understatement—from the COVID-19 pandemic, which has brought illness, death, and market volatility, to the senseless killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and Rayshard Brooks, which have brought urgent attention to the ongoing issue of racial injustice in the United States. During these times of pain and uncertainty, we have remained steadfast in our values, ensuring that we remain a stable and supportive presence, not only for the Church but also for our employees. Our longstanding commitment to inclusion has resulted in a diverse workforce that continues to thrive, learn, and engage in constructive conversations about difference. Thought leaders such as Catherine Meeks, PhD, Executive Director of the Absalom Jones Center for Racial Healing and Church Publishing author; Shawn Rochester, author of The Black Tax: The Cost of Being Black in America; and The Most Reverend Michael B. Curry have visited with us and have spoken about the experience of racism, the promise of equality, and the difficult work we all are called to do, to love our neighbors as ourselves. Employee-led affinity groups provide opportunities for people of color and other demographics to support each other, and ongoing training for employees and The Church Pension Fund Board of Trustees (CPF Board) continues to keep issues of equality front and center in our work. Racial tension can undermine the collaborative culture of any organization, and we are doing everything in our power to advance our own understanding so we can create even more space for healing and reconciliation at the Church Pension Group (CPG).

  • Teacher's Guide to Rethinking UGRR Terminology
    Rethinking Underground Railroad Terminology Teacher’s Guide The words we use to talk about a topic influence the way we think and feel about the subject. Language reflects the values of the culture that produces it. As values change, so does language. Significantly, the language used in guiding students’ cognitive development shapes their internal dialogue as they assimilate new information. Social psychologist Lev Semanovich Vygotsky argued these internal dialogues influence students’ independent cognitive efforts.1 Thus, an educator’s language shapes a student’s internal perspectives on the material being studied. Moreover, it conveys to the student an understanding of society’s values with respect to the subject matter. It is important for educators to consider who produced the traditional “Definitions belong to the Underground Railroad lexicon of “slave” and “owner” and to determine whether definers – not the defined.” the values reflected in that vocabulary should be reinforced today. - Toni Morrison, Beloved This Teacher’s Guide has been prepared to inform classroom discussions about the historical context and modern legacy of the Underground Railroad. 1 John H. Falk and Lynn D. Dierking, Learning from Museums: Visitor Experiences and the Making of Meaning (Walnut Creek, CA: AltaMira Press, 2000), 44.

  • The Underground Railroad in Seneca Falls, NY

There are two different meanings of the term “Underground Railroad.” In its narrow meaning, it refers to the efforts of enslaved African Americans to gain their freedom by escaping bondage. For years these escaping “slaves” were called “fugitive slaves.” Today we use the more “politically correct” term “freedom seeker” to refer to them. In its broadest meaning, “Underground Railroad” refers to any kind of anti-slavery activity—not just directly helping a particular freedom seeker in some specific way escape to freedom. This article will use “Underground Railroad” in its broadest meaning, so that the terms “abolition,” “anti-slavery,” and “Underground Railroad” have basically the same meaning. The term “Underground Railroad” in its narrow meaning was neither “underground” nor a “railroad” but rather a loosely-constructed network of escape routes that originated in the Upper South, intertwined throughout the North, and eventually ended in Canada. It also included escape routes from the Deep South into the western U.S. territories, Mexico and the Caribbean. Most “freedom seekers” began their journey unaided, either alone or in small groups.

ABSTRACT In the mid-nineteenth century a compulsory education system was emerging that allowed all children to attend public schools in northern states. This dissertation investigates school attendance rates among African American children in New York State from 1850–1870 by examining household patterns and educational access for African American school-age children in three communities: Sandy Ground, Syracuse, and Watertown. These communities were selected because of their involvement in the Underground Railroad. I employed a combination of educational and social history methods, qualitative and quantitative. An analysis of federal census reports, state superintendent reports, city directories, area maps, and property records for the years 1820–1870 yielded comparative data on households, African American and European American, in which African American school-age children resided. The nature of schooling and the manner in which the household and community advocated for school attendance during this period are also described and compared.

  • History of Montgomery Baptist Church
    HISTORY - OF - MO/NTGOME-Rg BAPTIST - IN - MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA. By EDWARD MATHEWS. A. K. THOMAS, PUBLISHER, AMBLER, PA. THB AMBLER GAZETTE PRINT. 1895. MONTGOMERY HAITIST CjBUKCH, 18DÖ PREFACE. The historic sketch contained in this little volume is not presumed to be exhaustive, nor comprising all that might be told concerning the past history of Montgomery church. Its preparation was prompted by the desire of the writer to pre­ serve the records of the old church book, and to multiply copies of that account, ere, through some misfortune, it might be destroyed. From the beginning, it was thought desirable to proceed further and add a narration of the origin of the church and of those who founded it in the wilderness. To this naturally grew some memorial notes concerning the several pastors who have ministered to the people during the long period since the organization of the church. The secession of New Britain in 1754, and the preceding controversy, is a matter of interest to both churches now, whilst the separation of Hilltown, in 1781, left the mother church with only a neighbor­ hood membership. The account of the constituent members in 17IQ> and of the early worthies who succeeded them, and their further fortunes, may be of interest to the large number of persons who are their descendants. E. M. NORTH WALES, PA., September, 1895. REV. CHARLES HENRY PINCHBECK. (The Present Pastor.) •History of the Montgomery Baptist Church. The Montgomery church, like all other Neshaminy gather their waters, that run of the early Baptist churches of Penn­ to the eastward.
