The Underground Railroad was not a railroad. It did not go underground. It was a secret network of refuge stations in the United States operated by Northern abolitionists. They helped runaway slaves escape from the South. Men and women—both black and white—were involved in the network.

A brief and concise information.

There’s a couple with a recurring “Saturday Night Live” skit in which goes by a slightly profane name which rhymes together with “sass-pole.”

Sometimes when we think of legionary outlaws who gave their life efforts to help a downtrodden and oppressed people, figures like Robin Hood or some other dashing male hero springs to mind. In black history, we have just such a character but this champion of her people did not ride the forests with merry men. Harriet Tubman, a humble and diminutive black woman truly qualifies as such a profoundly legendary figure that her exploits would rival Robin Hood’s or any other hero of cultural legend. Small wonder she was often referred to as “Moses of her People.”

The Underground Railroad, was a vast network of people who helped fugitive slaves escape to the North,to Canada, and as far south as Mexico.

Harriet Tubman conducted nearly 20 trips to Southern states and freed more than 300 slaves becoming one of the most successful conductors on the Underground Railroad.
