BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Juneteenth is celebrating the freeing of the last slaves in the United States and we are taking a look back at the ties Western New York has to those times.
Specifically in the African-American Heritage corridor which is marked by the Michigan Street Baptist Church.
It played a pivotal role in the freeing of slaves along the underground railroad.
