African Heritage Month:
*Lucie and Thornton Blackburn were fugitives from Kentucky who escaped slavery and settled in Detroit. However, their former owner tracked them down there and tried to return them to slavery. In a highly publicized escape that left Detroit engulfed in riots, the Blackburns were able to make it to Canada. The Canadian Courts defended them against the threat of extradition. This was seen nationally and internationally as a symbol of Upper Canada’s role as a safe haven for Black refugees.
The Blackburns settled in Toronto in 1834 and Thornton operated the first taxi cab in the city of Toronto. They worked tirelessly for the abolition of slavery and to help Underground Railroad refugees settle in Canada.
