📰 News we're reading

• This Week in People's History, Sep 30-Oct 6, 2026 (portside.org) — Christiana gets a notable mention in a look back at 1850s resistance to the Fugitive Slave Act, highlighting an armed clash there against a Maryland slaveholder. The article mainly focuses on the famous "Jerry Rescue" in Syracuse, but it reminds readers that this Lancaster County farming community played a real role in national antislavery history.
