Chatham Vigilance Committee information


The Chatham Vigilance Committee was formulated before the American Civil War by black abolitionists in the Chatham, Ontario area to save people from being sold into slavery. Some of the members of the group were graduates of Oberlin College in Ohio.[1] It is most well known for its rescue of Sylvanus Demarest, but the Committee rescued other people.[2]
