"From Slavery to Freedom" Exhibit

Samuel Black gave a tour of the “From Slavery to Freedom” exhibit at the Heinz History Center and talked about Pittsburgh’s role in African American history. He explained that the exhibit takes visitors from the 18th century slave trade through slavery in the Americas, the Underground Railroad, the abolitionist movement, and the Civil Rights movement.
