We Are Still Discovering the Tracks of the Underground Railroad
For millions of Americans of all backgrounds and skin tones, the story of the Underground Railroad is among the most inspirational and emotionally resonant stories of our history as a country, one of true heroism in a life-or-death struggle for freedom.

This history and these sites are sacred to all Americans who love liberty and equality, and they’re more important than ever now, at a time when the country has a president intent on stirring up old racial hatreds for political gain and power.
