After the meeting, a program starting at 11:00 a.m. will feature a showing of the documentary Abandoned - The Untold Story of the Orphan Trains by Michael T. Keene. The film is about the orphan trains which operated between 1854 and 1929. Orphans were relocated to areas largely in the Midwest in an attempt to give these children a better life. At the time, there was a crisis in the Eastern cities. Over 200,000 orphaned children were left homeless without food or clothing and lived wherever they could survive. The orphans crowded cities until a supervised welfare program relocated them. |
