Profiles: William Still And The Underground Railroad
Dr. William Thierfelder returns to the Plainview-Old Bethpage Library for his monthly series Profiles. At 2 p.m., he will discuss William Still and the Underground Railroad. Often called “the Father of the Underground Railroad,” Still helped as many as 800 slaves escape to freedom during the Civil War era. He kept detailed records of each person to aid in the future reunion of family members who became separated under slavery. After the Civil War, Still published his authoritative account, The Underground Railroad Records (1872), based on the secret notes he had kept in diaries during those years. His book has been integral to the history of those years.
