The 1838 Black Metropolis is rich with discoveries...buildings that reveal themselves as historic sites, people who have done incredible things, and places where it all happened.
Sometimes we stumble upon incredible stories from the past and this was one was soooo good, we had to bring it to you in it's unadulterated format. It's a story of a deeply felt inspiration; one that led to the liberation of hundreds...inspired by the viewing of a portrait at 918 Lombard Street. It's the story of how one successful slave ship uprising encouraged another. And it's a story about how Black Philadelphia supported and grew worldwide liberation in the mid-1800s
