Black history month abolition hub drew black lawyer to Syracuse
In 1851 Syracuse was a hotbed of abolition when George B. Vashon arrived. Unable to practice in Pennsylvania due to race he sought work in Syracuse and passed the New York bar becoming a noted abolitionist and educator. He led vigilante anti slave efforts, ran for state attorney with the Liberty Party, taught at New York Central College, and died in 1878 at 54.
