“Josiah’s Journey to Freedom.”

This photo was taken on the waters of the Niagara River, highlighting the “Josiah’s Journey to Freedom.” The event is an annual cross-border historical commemoration dedicated to preserving the legacy of Josiah Henson and the freedom seekers who escaped slavery in the United States and established new lives in Canada. Participants trekked across the Peace Bridge to Fort Erie, Canada. The full story can be read in next week’s edition of the Buffalo Criterion. This photo shows Dewitt Lee, III (Coordinator), Saladin Allah, Anusha, and Titan.
