Michigan Street Baptist Church was a stop on the Underground Railroad. It was one of the first all-black churches, and it had two separate spots for hiding escaping slaves. One was in the attic, and the other was in what is now the Men's Bathroom. I went there to have a tour, and it was informative. It was pretty scary to be a escaping slave. They had to drug the children to keep them quiet so that they wouldn't alert the bounty hunters of their position.
