A tour through abolition history

The intersection of Douglas and Lincoln avenues has long been a historic gathering place for Haddonfield’s Black community. The borough’s historical society wants to preserve that history through walking tours, signage and narratives from seniors in the African American community. (Special to the Sun/The Sun)

The Haddonfield library will host a tour on Saturday, Jan. 13 that will explore South Jersey’s rich abolitionist history with Ellen Alford, author of “Abolition and the Underground Railroad in South Jersey: Not Without a Fight.”

The program will feature stories of courage, resilience and defiance against slavery. It is sponsored in partnership with the Preserving Black Haddonfield History Project and Lawnside Historical Society.
