Myth vs. Reality: • A critical examination of the popular myths, including the quilt codes and secret messages, against the backdrop of documented historical facts. Heroes Known and Unknown: • Celebrate the valor of renowned figures like Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass while exploring unsung heroes whose contributions were equally pivotal. Safe Houses and Secret Codes: • Delve into the strategic planning behind the safe houses and the true nature of the codes used to guide the desperate to safety. Impactful Narratives: • Firsthand accounts and narratives that bring to life the harrowing experiences of those who traversed the path from bondage to freedom. Legacies Unveiled: • The enduring legacy of the Underground Railroad and its significant impact on America’s journey toward equality and justice.
