February is Black History Month. The African-American Historical Society of South Central Pennsylvania has plans for a live performance and an exhibit at the Ware Center in Lancaster. Both focus on the city’s history of anti-slavery activities and the Underground Railroad that helped enslaved people escape.

Under Freedom’s Sky is one-time, live performance based on stories and images of places where the history occurred. Under Freedom’s Sky will be performed Friday, February 4 at 6:30 p.m. at the Ware Center’s Steinman Hall.

The Road to Freedom Takes Many Paths is an exhibit that includes photographs, illustrations and maps – mostly about the Underground Railroad. The exhibit runs between February 4 and February 28 in the Regitz Gallery at the Ware Center.

Nelson Polite Jr., the President of the African-American Historical Society of South Central Pennsylvania will tell us more on Thursday’s Smart Talk.
