You will find out about some of those who fought enslavement, and how they were pivotal in shaping our society to be as diverse as it is today. Dress for the weather. Icers are required. Hiking poles are recommended. We will stop several times at points of interest. Expect hike to take from 1.5-2 hours. Hike 3 of 4 hikes in this series for the Black History badge.
