Franklin Auditorium \nAAMP is pleased to present Sailing to Freedom: Maritime Dimensions of the Underground Railroad\, a compelling traveling exhibition developed initially at the New Bedford Whaling Museum in 2022 under the co-curation of Dr. Timothy Walker and Michael Dyer. \nThis landmark project invites audiences to revisit and deepen our understanding of the maritime dimension of the Underground Railroad. It uncovers how enslaved African Americans\, in addition to overland routes\, undertook daring escapes by sea—charting covert paths along the Atlantic coast\, aboard merchant and passenger vessels\, and via lesser-known watercraft.\n​\nThis traveling version of the exhibition presents faithful reproductions of the original displays\, alongside new interpretive material that expands both geographical scope and historical insight. It offers visitors an immersive encounter with narratives of flight\, resilience\, and agency—stories of freedom pursued not only across land but over water\, and beyond the bounds of the United States. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails – visit the museum’s website click here\n\n\nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n Like this:Like Loading...

The leading exponent in this ecclesiastical establishment was Rev. Horace Wayland\, a black Virginia preacher\, no doubt a former slave. \nRev. Wayland established Zion as a missionary prayer meeting in 1882 in the home of Mr. & Mrs. Lewis Simms. In 1883\, Reverend Wayland was ordained and the prayer meetings moved to a hill at 13th and Popular Streets. The membership grew\, causing a number of relocations\, which finally settled at 13th & Wallace Streets. This last relocation was an awesome purchase of $16\,000 and typically Zion took on the challenge. By the time of Reverend Wayland’s homegoing in 1896\, the debt had been reduced to $6000. This was a remarkable feat for this dynamic minister and his progressive congregation. \nZion Baptist Church\n3600 North Broad Street\nPhiladelphia\, PA 19140 \nPosters 11″ x 17″\, 13″ x 19″ and 8.5″ x 11″\nGreeting cards folded w/envelopes \n \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n Like this:Like Loading...
