Underground Railroad
Author:
Woodard, Alfre
Year: 1998
City: New
York, NY
Publisher:
The History Channel, A&E Television Networks
1 videocassette (100 min.)
Abstract: It
had no rails, no phantom trains, no shadowy subterranean tunnels, but for those
"passengers" who successfully traveled what came to be known as the
Underground Railroad, there was a very real destination: Freedom. For those who
failed: a return to the living nightmare of slavery.
Hosted by Alfre Woodard, this is the thrilling story
of a 200-year struggle to break the bonds of slavery in the American South. A
story of secret codes, hidden way-stations and clandestine
"conductors." A story not of a railway, but of a loosely organized
network of runaway slaves, freed blacks and anti-slavery whites, all willing to
risk their lives in the name of liberty. With dramatic re-creations of escapes
and acts of selfless heroism, this moving account also chronicles the
achievements of legendary abolitionist figures Frederick Douglass, Harriet
Beecher Stowe, Harriet Tubman and William Lloyd Garrison.
