The Underground Railroad has been shrouded in mystery and myth since the days it was active. In this episode, Professor Richard Blackett (author of Making Freedom: The Underground Railroad and the Politics of Slavery) and I talk about some of the realities of the Underground Railroad. Along the way are fascinating escape stories and Underground Railroad helpers from unlikely places.
