The National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom (National Park
Service) is sponsoring a free program, open to the public, at Sumner
School, Washington, D.C., on January 24, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. The goal

flight from slavery to freedom in the DC area through the end of the Civil
War.  Even if you cannot attend, please share names and details about
little known people associated with the Underground Railroad. A list of
such people will be circulated at the event in hopes of gathering more
information.
