Description
Celebrate Juneteenth with a National Park Service guide on a cruise to Fort Pickens to uncover Pensacola’s best kept secret—the Underground Railroad! In the 1800s, enslaved African Americans crossed Pensacola Bay to free themselves from bondage. Learn about those who resisted American slavery and how they transformed a nation.
