Parallel Communities: The Underground Railroad in South Jersey
Dennis Rizzo
For slaves escaping on the Underground
Railroad, names like Springtown and
Snow Hill promised sanctuary and salvation.
Under the pressures of racial prejudice,
free blacks, runaway slaves and even many
Native Americans formed island communities on the periphery of South Jersey towns. Dennis Rizzo validates their role in the preservation of tradition, definition of extended family and creation of a social bond between diverse peoples;
together they formed parallel communities based on, but independent of, the larger towns and villages familiar to us all. |
