Pathways of Resistance: The Erie Canal and the Underground Railroad In-Person
This program examines the experience of African-Americans along the Erie Canal Corridor, with a perticular focus on the struggle for abolition. While parts of this story are unpleasant, slavery, racism and resistance are critical to understanding our society today. This program is constantly evolving as additional information and insight is obtained.
Presenter Derrick Pratt is the Museum Educator at the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse, NY. A native of Chittenango, NY, Derrick received a B.A in Social Studies Education from SUNY Cortland and a M.A. in Museum Studies from Syracuse University. Prior to his job at the Erie Canal Museum, Derrick served as Director of Programs at Chittenango Landing Canal Boat Museum for 3 years.
