Did you know that one of the chief conductors of the Underground Railroad was born right across the river in New Jersey? Join us on Saturday to meet William Still, portrayed by Living Historian Keith Henley. Ask how he established his station in Philadelphia, learn about the legacy established by his book, and discover the tales, tools, and techniques of how he helped many self-liberated people of African descent evaded capture and find their way north.

Come back on Sunday, June 3, to continue your exploration of African Americans’ pursuits for freedom with Harriet Tubman, who led a military raid in South Carolina that freed over 700 slaves 155 years ago this weekend!
