LHS Monthly Meeting: Hallowed Footsteps: Walk to Freedom
February 12 @ 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM EST
Ken Johnston, the Walking Artist, started walking to preserve our Civil Rights, in response to the erosion of the gains made in the 1940s, 50s and 60s. Commemorating Martin Luther King’s 50th beginning in 2018, he walked in partnership with the National Civil Rights Museum.
He was in a group that walked from Cape May to Burlington County in 2022, stopping at the Peter Mott House along the way. He has logged thousands of miles walking to Owen Sound in Canada, trekking from Galveston to Houston, through upstate New York and throughout New England.
He chronicles his experiences online at www.ourwalktofreedom.com
Do you have ancestors who escaped to Canada? Would you like to know more?
