Water / Ways: The Underground Railroad

Speaker Series: Angie Crenshaw


Communication and Community on the water-related to UGRR: For Harriet Tubman and other enslaved people the Underground Railroad was a resistance movement against slavery through escape and flight. Free and enslaved blacks, as well as white supporters, provided food, shelter, transportation, money, and directions. Harriet Tubman was its most famed conductor, a person that transported others on the dangerous journey to freedom. She was supported by courage, kindness, and knowledge of a network of individuals on the Underground Railroad, or as we call them, the Original Team Tubman. Join Ranger Crenshaw and learn about the important role that water, communication, and community played on the Underground Railroad in Maryland and participate in a lively discussion and family-friendly activity.
