Program Description
What would you do for your freedom? Imagine a life in which leaving everything you have ever known was your only chance to truly live. Set during the era of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, when free states complied with the laws mandating returning escaped slaves to their owners down South, students meet Carolina. Formerly enslaved and now living in Stony Brook, Long Island, Carolina is a conductor on the Underground Railroad ushering escaped slaves to the Promised Land located in Canada. Carolina illuminates the abolitionist movement, the risks facing the enslaved on a daily basis, and the courage of those that fought to help them such as Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. Using quilt codes and constellations, students imagine being Railroad conductors and design escape routes northward from South Carolina. Together with Carolina, they explore the enduring symbol of freedom for all Americans.
