Stay after the service for a presentation from Jeffery May.
What would you do if the law demanded you betray your neighbor? In the 1850s, ordinary citizens faced that very choice under the Fugitive Slave Act. Some complied. Others resisted—risking fines, prison, even their lives—to protect freedom seekers.

Join Jeffrey M. Davis—Boston writer and third great-grandson of Rev. Samuel Joseph May—for a gripping multimedia journey through stories of courage and defiance. From harrowing escapes on the Erie Canal to the dramatic “Jerry Rescue” in Syracuse, you’ll meet the bold citizens who refused to bow to injustice.

The lessons of the past echo today. Discover how communities once stood against oppression—and why their stories still matter.
