What happened to the Black fugitive slave once they completed their journey on the
Underground Railroad? Where did they go? What did they do?
On a trip last year to the Niagara Peninsula in Southern Ontario Canada, I met
Lezlie Wells the owner of www.NIAGARABOUNDTOURS.com a tour company
specializing in Black History Tours. Lezlie is a fifth generation Canadian
descendant of a fugitive slave from Kentucky, who has a personal interest in the
history of fugitive slaves who came to Canada, in particular, to the Niagara area.
For a customized Black History tour of the Niagara area, and to find out what happened
to individuals on their freedom journey, check out Lezlie’s site:

Serving grades Kindergarten through 12th, this math eboard provides links organized
by concept. For example, choose the K-2 tab and the sticky note "Counting" to find
links that will assist a student in learning to count. Each link is classified as Tutorial
(the link will provide information about the concept), Activity (provides an opportunity
for the student to experiment without a “right” answer needed), or Practice (either a
teaching activity or a practice test). The welcome tab sports links such as Math Study
Skills and Math Game Sites. The “Mrs. Miller” tab has great links, also! All links are
either to sites that are free or require free registration. This eboard gives busy teachers
resources for their students divided by concept. White sticky notes on the Welcome Tab
are resources for math teachers.
