“Albany, a city which from its location on the banks of the Hudson, was the constant resort of fugitives when traveling in the direction of the North Star” (Memoir of Abel Brown). Historically, Albany has been viewed as a city where very little abolition activity took place. Independent researchers Paul and Mary Liz Stewart have uncovered evidence to the contrary. Learn about New York State’s Capital City history that hasn’t made it into our history textbooks.
