Harriet Tubman never lost a passenger on the Underground Railroad, the secret network of people and places that helped enslaved people escape to freedom. She spent time in New England and Boston, specifically, where several Underground Railroad stations were located. There are 650 Underground Railroad sites across the country, and 12 newly designated by the National Park Service. One of the new stations is right here in Edgartown, Massachusetts, the first and only on Martha’s Vineyard.

Guests:
Elaine Weintraub , Historian and Co-Founder of the Martha's Vineyard African American Heritage Trail

L’Merchie Frazier — Director of Education and Interpretation at the Museum of African American History, Boston
