Hi Beverly:

Thanks so much for your comments. My question was directed to our Afrigeneas family members, Bennie McRae, the Forum Manager and Art Thomas whose ancestors are recognized as active members in the UNGRR in Ohio.

It seems as if I and many others are confused by the mission of the Freedom Center. However many of us are aware of your organization and its scholarship on African Americans and the UNGRR in Ohio. I do hope that you and Jae will share some of your organizations' research with us.

I in turn will share the url below that details the history of Florida's Afro-Caribbean history. This essay entitled "AFRICAN-AMERICANS IN FLORIDA AND THE CARIBBEAN 1763 TODAY", includes the various routes that slaves took to reach freedom. Enjoy Susan Parker's essay and others that can be accessed on the left column.

Regards,

K Wyer Lane
