Talks
- The Underground Railroad: Tracing the Tracks
An illustrious walk back in time to discuss the history of the Underground Railroad and its relevance and significance to Maine’s total and accurate history. As part of this discussion I explore the places that were hidden all around us in plain sight, each with its own story begging to be told and lessons waiting to be shared. Those with eyes look and those with ears, hear. It’s all around us.
- Whats in your hand?
Using readily available resources to create your underground railroad–your escape from slavery to freedom.
