Oberlin Heritage Center
The Oberlin Heritage Center will present an illustrated program about the historic decisions that shaped Oberlin's growth as one of the most active stations of the Underground Railroad. Stories will include Oberlin College’s acceptance of African American students, the famous ship Amistad and a former slave and student, men who volunteered for John Brown’s violent raid on Harper’s Ferry, and local efforts to thwart slave catchers. Generously sponsored by The Friends of the North Olmsted Library.
