Freedom Seekers

Freedom Seekers were individuals, primarily enslaved Africans in North America, who actively pursued escape from slavery in search of liberty and better lives. They used various methods—such as underground networks, stealth, and knowledge of the land—to evade capture. Their efforts challenged the institution of slavery and contributed to abolitionist movements. Recognized as resilient and courageous, Freedom Seekers’ actions highlighted their desire for freedom and human rights, leaving an enduring legacy in history’s fight against injustice.
