SUMMARY:Cecelia Larrison: A story of Self-Liberation from Slavery
DESCRIPTION:Cecelia Larrison is one of many people who liberated themselves from slavery long before the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. In 1846\, at age 15\, while on a trip to Niagara Falls with her enslavers\, the Thruston family of Louisville\, Kentucky\, Cecelia slipped away and crossed the border into Canada. \nThroughout her years as a free woman\, Cecelia faced many joys and hardships. The details of her life\, like those of many formerly enslaved people\, could have been lost to history. But fortunately\, we have significant documentation of Cecelia’s movements and struggles\, much of it coming from an unlikely source: a woman who was once her enslaver\, her childhood playmate\, and perhaps even her friend. \nAfter her liberation\, Cecelia started a nearly decade-long correspondence with her former “mistress\,” Frances “Fanny” Thruston. This online exhibit uses some of these letters to tell the story of Cecelia’s life after slavery.
