May Program
The Underground Railroad and the Universalist Church in Boone County
Local historian Bridget Striker will speak on the persecution of a Universalist church in Boone County for their support for the Underground Railroad. As the Universalist church later combined with the Unitarian church, this program should be of interest to the congregations of the other Unitarian churches in town as well as anyone interested in Cincinnati's history in support of abolition.
