Niagara Bound Tours (Teachers)
What happened to the Black fugitive slaves once they
completed their journey on the
Underground Railroad?
Where did they go?
What did they do?
On a trip two years ago 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, the church Harriet Tubman attended and more
