Description:
DOWNTOWN DETROIT. An integral stop on the Detroit section of the Underground Railroad during the mid-1800s, Second Baptist Church was the state's first African-American church. Among the more historically noteworthy people who have visited the church are Frederick Douglas and Nobel Prize winner Ralph Bunche, who was baptized here in 1927. In the years prior to the abolition of slavery, Second Baptist sheltered and assisted between 5,000 and 6,000 fugitive slaves, helping many of them across the border into Canada.
