Join Hub Town Tours for a special Underground Railroad tour of Beacon Hill along the Black Heritage Trail. On the anniversary of the 1850 passage of the Fugitive Slave Act, we'll examine local resistance to its enforcement and explore Boston’s role in the fight to end legalized slavery. This 2.5-hour walking tour will visit sites along Boston’s Black Heritage Trail, including abolitionist landmarks like the African Meeting House and the Lewis and Harriet Hayden House, as we venture in the footsteps of local activists that led America’s “Second Revolution.”  We will delve deeply into the tumultuous years before the U.S. Civil War when 19th-century Bostonians grappled with the institution of slavery and demanded an end to racial injustice across their young nation.
