Oh, America, you have sinned a great sin where your citizens of color
are concerned. How much of a sin? You be the judge by watching this
film and learn!
According
to IMDB "The actual Underground Railroad was a secret network of people
and safe houses. The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center here
in Cincinnati, where I live, simply referred to as the Freedom Center by
us locals, is an outstanding museum dedicated to this topic. Of course
Cincinnati was the first major city across the Dixie line and this
region played a major historical role in this important movement."
This should be must viewing for all those in this nation who should pause to view the American history of slavery to get the feel of slavery in America. It is an eye opening and, yes, a difficult experience to watch. It gives credence to those in this nation who dedicate themselves to the transparency of, as de Tocqueville described it, "the peculiar institution." It is, I thought, riveting viewing and lends itself to binge watching but warning an accounting of slavery in America is understatedly heart rendering but necessary to watch.
