Meet these 10 nearly forgotten abolitionists from Upstate New York: https://www.newyorkupstate.com/news/...-new-york.html

I’m kind of surprised that this man that was a long time resident of Syracuse’s East Side, with ties in Utica, Troy, Bath and Ithaca; who’s wife was from the Jamestown area and died in Saratoga Springs wasn’t mentioned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jermain_Wesley_Loguen
https://www.nationalabolitionhalloff...ey-loguen.html

Some information about where he and his family lived on the East Side of Syracuse north/NE of University Hill: https://pacny.net/freedom_trail/Loguen.htm

His daughter, which was one of the first Black female medical practitioners in the country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Loguen_Fraser

To be honest, there should be a school named after that family in Syracuse. Perhaps a new charter or independent school would make sense.

Related to this history, if interested, you can take a visit to this Hall of Fame in Peterboro(Town of Smithfield in Madison County, in between Syracuse and Utica): https://www.nationalabolitionhalloffameandmuseum.org/
