This DVD focuses on the roll of Free African-American William Still and White Thomas Garret and their role in the Underground Railroad, the system by those who wished to abolish slavery to create a Corridor of Courage from Maryland's eastern shore to the length of Delaware into Philadelphia and beyond. (There were other routes in the Underground Railroad.)
Edward Asner acts as Garett and Blair Underwood as William Still. They are considered to be the most prominent of the abolitionists. Garett used his own money to finance others including Harriet Tubman and on occasion bid at auction to own and then free a slave.
Do you have an ancestor who was a participant in the Underground Railroad?
