Pieces of the Past: The Road to Freedom

"Freedom can be said to have arrived in two stages; the first being the early morning of Friday, August 1, 1834. On that day many slaves were said to have walked up hills and climbed trees so as to clearly witness the literal dawning of their freedom. Around the island thousands attended 'Divine Services' to give thanks and praise. August 1, 1834"
