Description
Discover the lost story of Thomas Smallwood, born into slavery in Maryland, who bought his freedom and began to organize mass escapes from slavery. Smallwood’s daring operation took place against the very dark background of the domestic slave trade, which thrived on Washington’s mall and at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. He invented the term “underground railroad.”
