Black History Month in Upstate NY: Historical sites, monuments and more
Updated Feb 09, 2021;
Black History Month extends through the month of February and in recognition, we take a look at some of the rich history embedded in Upstate New York. Many homes and towns in the state were a part of the Underground Railroad, guiding enslaved Black people to freedom in neighboring communities and Canada.
This list includes historical greats like Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass to maybe lesser known, but none less notable folk like the inventor of the potato chip, a peg-legged tap dancer, a Pulitzer prize winning author, two Grammy-winning artists and one Oscar-winning movie inspiration.
