From Slavery to Civil Rights: The African American Railroading Legacy

About this event


Join the B&O Railroad Museum for their tour, From Slavery to Civil Rights: The African American Railroading Legacy.

On this tour, they will delve into the storied history of African Americans on the railroad. From its inception, enslaved people were used to build many of the early railroads in the country, especially in the south. Since then, the railroad has been involved in the fight for African American equality in America. By exploring their collection of rolling stock, they will reflect on the legacy of African American railroading from the dark days of slavery and the Civil War, through segregation and into the Civil Rights Movement.

This tour is included in the museum admission, and B&O Members are free.

Learn more about the tour on their website.
