SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: Two Histories Merge at the Underground Railroad: Abolitionists Seth Paine and Harriet Tubman
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 11  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by Nancy Shumm and E. Olivia Darden \nAuthor of The Anointed One\, Nancy Schumm\, and Narrator of the Audiobook\, E. Olivia Darden will present Seth Paine and Harriet Tubman in a new light focusing on Seth’s work on the Midwest Underground Railroad\, black history\, and his collaboration with others in Chicago and Lake Zurich that mirrored the work of Harriett Tubman along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. While Harriet and others were hard at work in the East\, abolitionists in Chicago assisted freedom seekers escaping from southern states leading them to the Great Lakes and Canada. This program will include readings from the book\, details of the Underground Railroad activity in the Great Lakes\, and the work of Harriett Tubman in the East. \nThe untold story of humanitarian and progressive activist Seth Paine comes to life in the narration of The Anointed One by activist and Harriet Tubman descendant E. Olivia Darden\, Esq. When author and Baltimore resident Nancy Schumm and Darden met\, their common interest in civil rights and humanitarian works inspired them to combine their efforts to promote the historical biography of Lake Zurich founder Seth Paine.

SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: New Philadelphia\, Illinois: Seven Ways to Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, May 9  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by Dr. Kate Williams-McWorter and Dr. Gerald McWorter \nFrom a distance\, New Philadelphia looked like a typical Illinois pioneer town of the mid-1800s. But New Philadelphia was not a typical pioneer town. As travelers got closer\, they would find a small but bustling community where Black and White villagers lived and worked side by side. For formerly enslaved Free Frank McWorter\, the town meant new beginnings and an opportunity to free family members enslaved in Kentucky. New Philadelphia\, which he founded in 1836\, is the first U.S. town platted and registered by an African American. \nGerald McWorter and Kate Williams-McWorter’s presentation will tell the story of this unique central Illinois town from its inception to its recognition at the United States’ 424th National Park in December 2022.
