In honor of Black History Month, the City or College Park is providing the traveling exhibition, FLEE! Stories of Flight from Maryland In Black and White, for public display
The Underground Railroad touched all parts of society, enslaved and free, black and white. Runaway slaves looked to friends, family and strangers for assistance. Slave owners and supporters of slavery worked to capture escapees for financial gain and to preserve their local system.
FLEE! Stories of Flight from Maryland In Black and White exhibit explores previously unknown stories of slave owners, fugitives and accomplices to show how slavery and the flight to freedom shapes the lives of all Marylanders. The Maryland State Archives produced this exhibit as part of its ongoing effort to study the legacy of slavery in Maryland. The five-panel traveling exhibit will be displayed on the first floor of The City of College Park’s City Hall building, located at 7401 Baltimore Avenue, during the month of February, available to be viewed between January 31 to March 1, 8AM – 5PM M-F, in honor of Black History Month.
Kwa heshima ya Mwezi wa Historia ya Weusi, Jiji au Chuo Park ni kutoa maonyesho kusafiri, FLEE! "Mchoro wa ""Historia za Ndege kutoka Maryland"" unaonyesha jinsi reli ya chini ya ardhi ilivyogusa sehemu zote za jamii, watumwa na huru, weusi na weupe." Watumwa waliokimbia walitumaini msaada wa marafiki, familia, na wageni. Wamiliki wa watumwa na wafuasi wa utumwa walifanya kazi ya kuwafunga wakimbizi kwa ajili ya faida ya kifedha na kuhifadhi mfumo wao wa mahali hapo. Kukimbia! "Mwisho wa maonyesho ya ""Historia za Kukimbia kutoka Maryland"" katika Black na White, maonyesho ya ""Historia za Kukimbia kutoka Maryland"" yanachunguza hadithi zisizojulikana hapo awali za wamiliki wa watumwa, wakimbizi na washirika kuonyesha jinsi utumwa na kukimbia kwa uhuru huunda maisha ya watu wote wa Maryland." Maktaba ya Jimbo la Maryland ilitengeneza maonyesho haya kama sehemu ya juhudi zake za kuendelea kujifunza urithi wa utumwa huko Maryland. Maonyesho hayo yatatolewa katika jengo la City Hall la The City of College Park, lililoko 7401 Baltimore Avenue, kati ya Januari 31 na Machi 1, 8 AM - 5 PM, kwa heshima ya Mwezi wa Historia ya Weusi.
