Perth Amboy: A Port Of Slavery, A Port Of Freedom

[@eburro96]

Frank and direct script about several sad chapters of New Jersey and American history. I am hopeful it gets good circulation. Afterall, it is essential that our history be fully understood, warts and all.

Having attended school in Woodbridge Township from 1954 to 1967, I am dismayed that none of this local history was ever presented. I frankly had no idea PA was a stop on the underground railroad nor that slavery was condoned here.

The Slave Barracks were on smith street and Water street . Were the Slaves brought to Perth Amboy, sold in Market Square? Did Market Square rxist then. I read that only one person in Perth Amboy, didnt have slaves

I live right in front of that: Port to Tottenville dock, in one of those brick buildings Great and unique documentary you have made, too bad that the people living in this town don’t have the educational capacity to appreciate this piece of history 👍👍👍
