Celebrating 100! “A Century of Black History Commemorations,” with years of national efforts to study, honor, and commemorate Black history, culture, and contributions. The Belmont Mansion in Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park stands as a vital site for preserving Black history. Once the home of Judge Richard Peters, a member of the Continental Congress and Secretary of War who welcomed Founding Fathers such as Washington and Jefferson, the mansion also played a crucial role in the Underground Railroad. The estate served as a safe haven for enslaved people escaping the Antebellum South, making it a powerful symbol of resistance and freedom. Today, efforts at Belmont Mansion focus on honoring and educating visitors about this legacy, ensuring that the stories of those who sought refuge there and the broader struggle for Black liberation remain central to its history.
