September is International Underground Railroad Month in Maryland! Why September? It’s the month when Harriet Tubman (born in Dorchester County, MD) made her first attempt to escape slavery (Sept. 17) and when abolitionist Frederick Douglass self-liberated himself (Sept. 3). And did you know that Maryland has the most documented successful escapes using the Underground Railroad?
📌 Below are a few meaningful ways to mark the month. Get all the details in the link in the comments.
