Learn how Â鶹ÊÓƵ was a leader in abolition, participating heavily in events such as the Â鶹ÊÓƵ-Wellington Rescue, the Raid on Harpers Ferry, and the American Civil War, but also struggled with its own issues of equality and racism during these early years and later through Reconstruction, Jim Crow, Civil Rights, and today.
