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 check out Lezlie’s site or call her at: (905) 685-5375
