Inspired by Their Voices: Poems from Underground Railroad Testimonies

By: Thrushart, Patricia

In this second edition, poet Patricia Thrushart uses the narratives surviving from the men and women involved in the Underground Railroad to revitalize and reinvigorate their testimonies for modern readers. She curates their words with her own to tell their stories and give witness to their courage. Leading abolitionists including William Still, Angelina and Sarah Grimke, Levi Coffin and Rush Sloan are memorialized here. The experiences recounted by all individuals involved in this clandestine and at the time illegal activity of those seeking freedom are honored. These heart rendering words from both abolitionists and freedom seekers reminds us of our shared history; a reminder ripe for our times.
