Frances Harper & Camden Slave Auction - Journey Through Blackness

Last month, my Journey Through Blackness took me to Frances Harper's house in Philadelphia, and then to Eden Cemetery where she is buried. The cemetery was closed, so I will have to go back on another day.

Today's Journey through Blackness culminated at Cooper’s Point Ferry (pictured below) on Camden's waterfront, which has now been marked as one of three slave auction sites. New Jersey was the last northern state to end slavery. It's right in front of the aquarium, at the intersection of Delaware and Federal.
