Thoreau Tells the Stories of the Black Community in Concord

While slavery is illegal in Massachusetts, Black communities are forced to the margins of society. While living at Walden Pond, Thoreau explores their stories of hardship and resilience, which have been left out of the public record. His experiences pave the way towards his increasing involvement in anti-slavery work.
