    Sharing the Underground Railroad's Oral Histories - News (ufl.edu)

    I never post in here nor do I come in here much at all, However I have an interest in Genealogy and the American Civil War. Since this article relates to a Project at the UF, I thought I'd post a link. If you want to make comments and discuss, go for it. I am NOT posting for any political reasons, nor will I make any comments in this vein. I am simply posting for historical edification.
    (PS- On reflection maybe I should have posted in the Pub since it should be a safe subject to discuss ("should" being the operative word) but I wasn't sure if it would stay "Safe". Mods act accordingly, please if you want to move it.)

    Good to hear UF and the National Parks Service are 'preserving history'.

    Thanks for the share. I remember passing a lot of insight on Caribbean American dynamics to one of my Latin American history professors at UF. There was a lot of stuff I could tell him that he’d never read in a book.
