In the Beginning...

The Historians Craft 3801E has undertaken a Community Based Project located in Chatham, Ontario surrounding the involvement of Thomas Pickeney in the Abolitionist movement. Christ Church in Chatham played a vital role in Thomas Pickeney's role in the abolitionist movement. The research team has traveled to Chatham and have conducted some research. The research team was accompanied by writers Maggie Jinks and Kyle Prout in the Huron Archives. We are in the process analyzing the images from the Colonial Church in School Societies Annual Reports on the "Mission To Fugitive Slaves In Canada." Posts will continue to accumulate with the results of the research taking physical form, such as a documentary.
