Routes of Resilience

Routes of Resilience: From Enslavement to Freedom Along the Pike.

The Black Heritage Museum of Arlington, The Arlington Historical Society, and WalkArlington sponsored a walk along Columbia Pike to learn about the lives of free and enslaved Black people in 19th-century Arlington.

Adapted from the AHS website: "...Craig Syphax, board member and former president of The Black Heritage Museum of Arlington, and Jessica Kaplan, board member of the Arlington Historical Society, shared the stories of free and enslaved Black people who were part of this neighborhood in the 19th century... We  learned about their lives, their struggles, and their great resilience, courage, and strength in the face of adversity."

After the walk, the group met at the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington for a reception which included former Freedom Rider Joan Mulholland and an opportunity to view the museum’s exhibitions.

Thanks to Jessica Kaplan, Craig Syphax, Annette Benbow, Mary Dallao, and Dr. Scott Taylor for their work on this event.
