Members of the James Suggs Underground Railroad museum are seeking memorabilia such as old news articles, photographs and letters to replicate for the 20th Annual Freedom Festival.

This year’s festival is focused on “black and white coming together,” and will feature special guests Jack Douglas, Rev. Sylvester William and Jumping Jacks, as well as soul food and a special exhibit full of nostalgia collected from the community.

Anyone interested in contributing to the exhibit should contact Martha Suggs Spencer at (574) 360-1106, or drop them off at the James Suggs Underground Railroad Museum, 60354 N. Main St. in Vandalia, Mich.
