Did you miss the Presbytery's tour of the Free at Last? Slavery in Pittsburgh in the 18th and 19th Centuries exhibit at the Senator John Heinz History Center?
You can now visit the exhibit online at www.library.pitt.edu/freeatlast .
Free at Last centers on 55 handwritten records of legal transactions in Pittsburgh documenting this region's involvement with slavery and indentured servitude. The online exhibit includes video of Dr. Laurence Glasco talking about the documents and the stories behind them. You can also zoom in and read -- closely -- the handwritten documents.
