My great great great Uncle was Levi Coffin . I'm 71 and my Mother told me of him as a young boy and it gave me a great pride in my heritage . My Mother was from Southern Illinois however we all have lived in Canada . My Mother and sister joined 'Daughters of the American revolution ' years ago .
My home, was owned for 11 years by the William H. Whitaker family, located at the Mineral Spring, Bradenton, Fl. William found Jeffrey Bolding in the Sarasota thicket. Taking him home Mary Jane (Wyatt), healed his sores while $1,000 was sent by the Whitakers to the owner, for his release. Jeffrey stayed with the Whitakers until his death in 1904. He is buried in Adams cemetery, Bradenton. God rest his soul. Another freedom seeker who came to Florida, finding his way to freedom.
Thank you! The people involved in the underground railroad should not go unnoticed or unremembered for their courage and tenacity. There are many, still to this day, that feel erasure or dismissal of facts, or its very existence is best. I am not of that group. I believe truth is the only freedom. Anything less and slavery remains. All people matter. Truth matters most. Those that oppose truth are insecure, pompous, and beyond ignorant (no matter how scholarly they boast to be).
Harriet Tubman is the bravest soul ever. Can you imagine? She was not only black but a woman. Wow! I know a little about her from school but I’m going to research more on her and the Underground Railroad!
The quilts was not myth, they did indeed use them as codes to make and pass because they need the messages they hid also how they were folded on the doors meant a message as well, whether it was safe to enter etc.
The quilts are definitely a myth. Historians have debunked that story. The author of Hidden in Plan View, Jacqueline Tobin, originated this tale. When she was brought to task by researchers, she had to acknowledge that no proof exists of these quilts. A person made up this tale, and she ran with it.Sad, really. It detracts from the courage and determination our ancestors had in their flight and fight for freedom.
Harriet Tubman used quilts to help slaves escape a video on TH-cam The slaves used what they had to escape They come out to discredit us everytime even in our desperate suffering to survive the worst chattel slavery just evil they want the credit of everything just can't leave us alone
I've been told of my gret-great-great-grandparents assisting in Ohio, but few details were passed on other than that. It seems the deed is more important than who accomplished it. These were brave souls both on the railroad and the passengers who took it.
Excellent explanation, very clear, with your permission I'm gonna show this to my students for them to learn about this part of History, I really love this topic!
@@ladym2668 you saw the movie - and it was horrible? Have not seen it yet, hope to soon. Very disappointing, if it is horrible! (read a few other reviews and they seem to agree with you, that's a shame...)😢
I live near Sojourner Truth's grave in Battle Creek, Michigan. A few miles away in Cass County, until he died in 2001, a friend of mine owned the James Bonine house, which is architecturally similar to the building shown in this video at 1:19. It is now a museum about the underground railroad and one of four landmarks in Cass County owned and maintained by the local chapter of the Underground Railroad Society.
Very good presentation. As for the person who suggested you eliminate the quilt code they are supporting a biased view. Because or history is mainly oral and passed from generation to generation does not make it any less true. Whoever those "qualified" people were are just supporting ignorant and racist views disparaging our history and culture.
Giles R. Wright Jr PHD of African American Culture at Rutgers University and Columbia U debunked the myth of the Quilts being used as a map to freedom years ago . Most African Americans misinterpreted the Quilts being used to relay messages by the pattern themselves. But actually the message was not in the quilt but as she mentioned in the placement of the quilts. As Mr. Wright stated slaves hadn't the time or resources to sew a quilt with certain patterns to relay messages to escaping slaves...FACT! I wrote my Masters thesis on the UGRR and am a Underground Railroad Museum educator and Administrator
I don't know if that person was right or wrong. But if there's one person saying that it happened that way there's a darn good chance that it at least happened once that way. My guess it happened more than that. You had to be very clever to get out alive in those days. In a quilt is indeed very clever.
@@MsVettebgd no a lot of people believe that we evolved from apes even though they weren't there to see the beginning. I believe we were created by God and I have a book that says so dictated by God. Not all Masters were evil and cold. Some of them educated their slaves and treated them well and dressed them well. It would be those individuals that would have been used to relay simple messages to the unfortunate less educated. I have learned not to trust theories but to trust facts. Science can't get it right and I'm sure there are historians out there that can't get it right either. I don't care what your title is! People with great titles and large sums of money are destroying the United States of America. So I'm not applaud your credentials. I lost a tooth because of a dentist who thought he knew more than I did about how it looked. College educated does not equate to intelligence, at least not anymore.
Thank you for your research in African- American customs. What was missing was the courage acts made by a plethora of black intellects in order for the success of the Underground Railroad to prosper. We still fight every day to be free in the African Diaspora.
What a beautiful video :) it makes me proud to be British because we were the first to abolish slavery, from what I know and my grandfather at 15 years old went to fight in the last real war against the nazis and their terrible ideas
@Tiffany Zinaj As if British treat so called Black Ppl with "Hue"man respect, dignity & as if alot of Brit's aren't a Buncha Racist Azz holes either🤔😩...

Yeah, I didn't quite get that, she sounds more like a Southern gal though. I honestly really don't care who narrates it it just leans toward more appropriate having a black person do it. It reminds me of when white people pretended to be Indians in movies. I'm quite hungry for more information especially accurate information about the black slave life and their escapes.

Very good and informative video. You might want to edit out the quilt part of it. Most Underground Railroad historians of qualified the quilt as a part of The Underground Railroad, as just a myth...

Well a bit whitewashed but good information. If you want to know the truth what it was like to be a slave, google "slave narrative" you will hear the truth.
Think about GOD every night instead and what HIS plan for your life is. SEEK HIM OUT AND SEE IF YOU CAN'T INCORPORATE GOD AND HIS WILL FOR YOUR LIFE WITH YOUR OBSESSION OF A TIME PERIOD OF HATE. GOD MIGHT MAKE YOU THE NEXT HERO. It usually takes GOD's guidance for that to come about. I don't know your upbringing or the environment in which you are living. Maybe you can't help but think of that all the time because it's in your face all the time. Seek Jesus and ask him to guide you and bringing healing and deliverance to many that might still be in a very dangerous circumstance. Healing comes when people join together. Destruction comes when satan divides the people and I do mean all the people. Love conquers hate and only Jesus can give you that strength.
I'm a Heinz 57 and if I mentioned all the countries my ancestry came from it would take you a while before you got to my first name. If you're born in America you're American, you just have dark skin or light skin.
