About us
AKWAABA’ s living history presenters are Rochester residents who are accomplished educators, social workers and healthcare professionals. Many have extended their love of history by researching their families’ genealogies and teaching the skill to others. Some are professional storytellers. All are involved in numerous community organizations. They come together out of their desire to accurately tell the story of the Underground
Railroad.
Audiences near and far
Numerous groups have experienced Underground Railroad tours and living history presentations designed to their specifications by AKWAABA. Through our education mission we have serviced: public,
private, and charter schools, the City Recreation Bureau, churches, correctional facilities, business organizations, supporters of Susan B. Anthony House, civic organizations, Kwanzaa Coalition programs and many other groups. AKWAABA tour participants have come from the Rochester area, Ohio, Florida, Connecticut, Georgia, California, Maryland and the African continent. Frequently, the Greater Rochester Visitors Association asks AKWAABA to provide “familiarization” tours for tour operators, meeting planners, and travel
writers.
