Greetings UNGRR Researchers:

Syracuse University's presentation, "That Laboratory of Abolitionism, Libel, and Treason: Syracuse and the Underground Railroad" is a fascinating chronicle of the anti-slavery movement in New York State.

This on-line history includes an oil painting of Jermain W. Loguen by African American artist William H. Simpson. Loguen, an agent in the UNGRR, a former slave and father-in-law of Frederick Douglass' son Lewis.

The detailed profiles of Harriet Powell and Jerry Rescue; explanation of the impact of slave laws; the influence of the print press in the anti-slavery movement; helps the reader to understand this struggle in the real time of New York history.

Enjoy "Syracuse and the Underground Railroad."
