North Star - Robert Hickman: Pilgrim's Progress

Back



In 1863, Missouri slave preacher Robert Hickman led a community of African Americans up the Mississippi on a raft to escape slavery. The group landed in St. Paul and formed Pilgrims Baptist Church, named for their courageous journey. The church has been an extended family for many blacks and continues to thrive today.
