  • The National Park Service recently made quite the discovery that was actually hidden in plain sight. The Mount Clare train station in Baltimore, Maryland, is getting recognition for playing a major role in the Underground Railroad. Kris Hoellen, the executive director of the B&O Railroad Museum, and her team have discovered that the Mount Clare station was used by at least 20 confirmed freedom-seekers heading north to escape slavery. Inside Edition Digital Has More.

    It is terrible how Henry Box Brown had to hide in a crate with only water for 27 hours. But, unfortunately, he probably endured much worse as a slave!😢

    It's our history that we must learn for ourselves to teach our children. We must do this for two main reasons. So our children will know their history so that it will not be repeated two so they will know where to pick up from. Because these people still exist.
