Underground Railroad: Harriet Tubman
built 287 days ago
Prominent names associated with the Underground Railroad movement includes Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, John Brown only to mention a few. What is impressive about this movement is that it did not have any formal organizational structure, but functioned effectively to liberate people of African descent living in bondage. Because of the risky nature of its operation, not many records were kept. But it is estimated that the Underground Railroad conductors helped thousands escape to freedom.
