Title: 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.
