The Civil Warriors Round Table will hold its
next meeting at 7PM on Wednesday,
December 11th, at Weilers Deli in West Hills,
CA. We will be hosting a presentation by Abe
Hoffman on “Abolitionists and Conductors
on the Underground Railroad.”
Besides some well-known abolitionists such as
William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass,
there were people who risked their lives to aid
enslaved people attempting to flee plantations and
get to a haven where slavery didn't exist. Harriet
Tubman was arguably the most famous of these
heroes, but there were others, most notably
William Still and Levi Coffin, less well known but
nonetheless important conductors on the
Underground Railroad.
Abe Hoffman is an adjunct assistant professor of
history at Los Angeles Valley College. He may be
semi-retired, but he is active in attending the Civil
Warriors Round Table as well as Wings over
Wendy's where he has given several
presentations. Abe also belongs to the Los
Angeles Corral of Westerners, the Western
History Association, the Organization of
American Historians, and the Los Angeles City
Historical Society. He has written numerous
books and articles dealing with American history,
and you can look him up on Amazon to see his
publications.
As always, come join us before the program starts.
Our members start assembling around 6PM for
refreshments like the Weilers deli sandwich
dinner and for the camaraderie of their fellow
Civil Warriors. Meeting attendance is $5 which
includes soft drinks, cookies and an entry in our
book drawing. The sandwich dinner is $18 which
includes attendance, a deli sandwich and exclusive
Weilers side dishes. If you wish to partake of the
dinner, please RSVP before noon of 12/11/19 to

arrive. Guests, new members and returning
members are always welcome to join us for this
and future meetings! If you can’t make this
