February is Black History Month and in Windsor Essex we are proud to have played a pivotal role in assisting many black slaves escaping slavery in the United States and finding freedom here on Canadian soil. For many American slaves Windsor Essex offered what they yearned for most – a new life of freedom.  Our region played a proud and pivotal role in the Underground Railroad Movement, helping thousands escape the brutality of slavery.
