# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Abolition Histories- Laurel Hill Cemetery
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 28 Sep, 2025 at 11:00 am
- **Event Description**: Delve into Philadelphia’s 18th and 19th century abolition movement through joint tours of Eden Cemetery and Laurel Hill East. Explore the lives of free African Americans and self-liberating abolitionists who now rest at Eden Cemetery, such as Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, William Still, Richard Allen and activists whose stories of resistance are undertold.
Simultaneously, discover the complexities of the era by examining the lives of those buried at Laurel Hill, including William Henry Furness, George Bryan, and Judge John Kane, whose stances and stories ranged from solidarity to
contradiction to anti-abolition violence.
Beyond individuals, these tours illuminate the broader societal landscape as well as the site histories of Laurel Hill and Eden, which tell a story of racism in burial policies amongst cemeteries late into the 20th century and the African American response to a burial crisis.
