  • The Underground Railroad for many of us symbolizes the journey African slaves went on in the name of freedom. But, contrary to popular belief, the first path wasn’t south to north. Instead, it was north to south.
    Spanish Florida was an independent entity and many enslaved Africans in the Carolinas and Georgia knew that if they escaped, they’d be granted asylum, as well as their freedom. For nearly a century, hundreds of slaves took the same journey south and crossed the border. However, in 1790, facing pressure from the United States government, Florida agreed to stop accepting slaves. This halted the passage for a moment in time.
    In this episode of Black History In Two Minutes or So hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr., with additional commentary from Hasan Jeffries of Ohio State University and Vincent Brown of Harvard University, we explore the starting point of a trail that led thousands of slaves to freedom. But to this day, the passage represents the extremes enslaved Africans would go to attain the life they knew they deserved.
    Black History in Two Minutes (or so) is a 2x Webby Award winning series.

    ACTUALLY that building WAS MY ANCESTORS! Thomas and William Bulla, my great x$ grandfather and uncle, were a couple of the VERY FIRST STATION MASTERS for the underground railroad! How dare y'all try to make it ONLY BLACKS! Us Irish-Quaker/Cherokee/Blackfoot ex slave families demand you show THE BULLA FARMHOUSE and tell the REAL story! OUR ancestors loved those black slaves because our family were Dutch-Irish Quakers KIDNAPPED (3 brothers! Thomas, William, and another who jumped a train to Illinois) from Ireland and brought over AS SLAVES! They helped the Irish-Dutch, Black, and Native American slaves get set free!

    the primary leaseholder is bc housing i understand is a guv tax funed org op if the tenants are being held against will or by illicit methods it makes the org complicit in the acts this is a boondohggle to say the least taxpayers funding human trafficking without consent
