Tu-Endie-Wei State Park in Point Pleasant has been added to the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom. West Virginia State Park officials say the recognition is in honor of the significant role the Shawnee Tribe played in protecting escaped enslaved people. There are still some final approvals to complete, but once that is done, a commemorative plaque or letter will be put in the park “in recognition of the Shawnee people's bravery and role in this part of American history.” Tu-Endie-Wei State Park is located at the confluence of the Ohio and Kanawha rivers. The name comes from the Wyandotte language, meaning “point between two waters.” It is home to a granite obelisk honoring the frontiersman who fought and died in the 1774 Battle of Point Pleasant, as well as to the grave of legendary Shawnee Chief Cornstalk.  Read more: https://www.wowktv.com/news/west-virginia/mason-county-wv/tu-endie-wei-state-park-added-to-national-underground-railroad-network-to-freedom/   Find these stories and more at wv.gov/daily304.

Send us a textFairfax criminal and DWI lawyer Jonathan Katz heard Abbie Hoffman's lawyer Gerald Lefcourt speak in 1991 about how Abbie had asked Gerry to keep Hoffman out of jail so that he could keep pursuing his agenda. At that moment, Jon wondered whether he had missed the boat on the days of defending activists. Nine years later, Jon teamed with Ramsey Clark to defend the Plowshares 4 at their 2000 criminal jury trial following their action against depleted uranium, and Ramsey mentioned there being plenty of interesting activists to defend when doing so for free. Thanks to Plowshares and Catholic Worker activist Mark Colville of the Amistad Catholic Worker in New Haven for joining Jon in talking about his three Plowshares actions and resulting jury trials for two of them, and his Catholic Worker activities, including with Rosette Village. Plowshares actions include admitting the defendants' actions, while arguing that the action should not be convicted any more than Underground Railroad activists should have been convicted. Mark presents great ideas for beating the prosecution through such approaches as keeping our eyes on the prize of winning no matter the seeming and actual hurdles along the way, pushing the envelope of advocacy as necessary, and working in community / teamwork. Jon recommends donating to the Amistad Catholic Worker or any other Catholic Worker community, and/or the Rosette Village, helping homeless people.  This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

In a powerful tribute this Veterans Day, Maryland officially recognized Harriet Tubman for her remarkable contributions during the Civil War, commissioning her as a Brigadier General in the Maryland National Guard this past Monday. The momentous occasion highlights Tubman not only as a leader of the Underground Railroad but a courageous operative for the Union. Born Araminta Ross, Tubman's journey from enslavement to freedom fighter is legendary. After escaping to Philadelphia, she returned to the Eastern Shore multiple times to rescue family and friends. During the war, she served as a nurse, scout, and leader, notably orchestrating a mission that liberated over 700 enslaved individuals along the Combahee River. At the commissioning ceremony near her birthplace, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore praised Tubman as a pioneer of the phrase "leave no one behind," emphasizing her unwavering commitment to freedom and justice. Despite her longstanding contributions, Tubman was only recognized as a veteran. This posthumous promotion corrects this oversight, celebrating a woman who has inspired generations.

In Illinois, a significant initiative spearheaded by State Senator Dave Koehler (D-Peoria) is set to enhance the understanding and appreciation of the Underground Railroad's historical impact. The newly recommended Illinois Freedom Trails Commission aims to integrate and expand educational and tourism projects connected to this pivotal period in American history. This plan, developed by the Underground Railroad Task Force, envisions a connected network of sites celebrating the journeys of those who sought freedom from slavery. By collaborating with various organizations and neighboring states, the commission seeks to ensure that the brave legacies of freedom seekers and those who assisted them are honored and remembered. Senator Koehler emphasizes that this effort is crucial for moving forward while fully acknowledging the past.

It's Fourth of July, Independence Day, a time to celebrate our freedom. But Freedom is something people don't have much of as corporate workers. You must escape the plantation and be a procrastinator! Instead of owners outright trading slaves on the market, and physically whipping them for bad behavior, they have ever so cleverly and cunningly created a system in which the slaves "sell" themselves, writing resumes and going through interviews and are later tortured through psychological and emotional tactics, being given an unfathomable amount of work load with very little leisure time and given threats of "losing a job" (and the ability to pay bills to survive). It's a less overt approach and more of a covert one. While slaves are no longer overtly traded and tortured, there's no doubt that the average worker can barely make ends meet (survive) and is under extreme amounts of stress. If you are working your ass off at your job, but at the end of the day, the only thing you spend it on is a roof over your head and food on the table ...then your labor efforts are no longer an "opportunity for economic advancement" but a means of self preservation. That in itself is the very definition of slavery. If you rely on the approval of somebody else and the pennies they give you to survive, then you are NOT free. If you see your job as a stress factor and not as an opportunity to grow, if you come home worn and fatigued after a day at work, you are being emotionally and psychologically tortured. There may not be physical scars or anything, but you feel pain. They know that and try to tell you to "push passed your limit" and "work harder" ...And that is what torture is: deliberate pain caused to you. Debt slave, corporate slave, desk slave, wage slave, consumer slave. Whatever you want to call it. Every race is the property of corporate profit and you are a part of the property. Fortunately, there's the "Underground Railroad" of the modern era and it's called the Lazy Mindset. Don't work for anyone else and do what you want instead. Take control of your life by creating freedom as a ProcrastiN8r. Read the full blog post: https://www.procrastin8r.com/blog/corporateslavery

This week on The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy of DFER and Dr. Jocelyn Chadwick interview Catherine Clinton, Denman Professor of American History at the University of Texas at San Antonio, and author of Harriet Tubman: The Road to Freedom. Prof. Clinton discusses her definitive biography of Harriet Tubman, the renowned abolitionist and Underground Railroad conductor.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I'm thrilled to dive into an inspiring conversation that perfectly embodies our brand promise—”impact through connection, community, and collaboration.” We're exploring the transformative power of strategic planning and emotional connections in the travel and tourism industry with Colleen Onuffer, the Director of Public Relations for Travel Alliance Partnership. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why we rebranded to Travel Alliance Partnership How we create impact through connection, community, and collaboration More about Colleen's presentation at the New York State Tourism Industry Association annual meeting How TAP collaborated in creating a fam tour exploring Harriet Tubman's legacy in Cayuga County The concept of “cathedral thinking” for long-term projects Impact of emotional resonance on event success and strategic planning A Collaboration Case Study Colleen Onuffer, Director of Public Relations for Travel Alliance Partnership, shares a Travel Alliance Partnership case study on creating emotionally resonant, memorable experiences for travelers. She shares how TAP lives their value to create impact through connection, community, and collaboration when working with destinations. By focusing on emotional resonance, authentic community engagement, and long-term strategic planning, tourism professionals can create memorable experiences that leave lasting impacts. When planning media trips, Colleen emphasizes the importance of creating experiences that resonate on a personal level rather than strictly adhering to historical facts. This approach aims to make the stories more meaningful and relatable. Media members were encouraged to find personal connections to Harriet Tubman's legacy at an event honoring International Underground Railroad Month in Cayuga County. This strategy profoundly impacted attendees, fostering a deeper appreciation of the site's historical significance. Key Strategies for Planning Memorable Events Organizing an event that leaves a lasting impression requires careful consideration of multiple factors. The event in Cayuga County, focusing on Harriet Tubman's legacy, was a perfect example. Attendees experienced a driving tour of Underground Railroad stops, met with Tubman's descendants, and engaged with local black-owned businesses. Such thoughtful planning ensured that participants learned about history and felt its emotional weight and relevance today. Community engagement was a cornerstone of the Cayuga County event. The involvement of local leaders, business owners, and Tubman's relatives forged a genuine connection between the media members and the community. This collaborative spirit enriched the event and promoted future media relationships, ensuring that Tubman's legacy continues to be celebrated and preserved. Feedback and Its Role in Shaping Future Strategies Event attendees' feedback highlighted the Cayuga County trip's emotional resonance and transformative impact. Testimonials revealed some amazingly memorable experiences and how people connected to African American history. This invaluable feedback guided future event planning, emphasizing the significance of emotional ties and engaging storytelling in conveying a destination's essence and personality. We also discussed the concept of “cathedral thinking,” which involves planning long-term projects designed to create lasting impacts. Just as medieval cathedrals were built to outlast their creators, the initiatives led by Travel Alliance Partnership aim to transform destinations sustainably rather than being a flash in the pan.

She reflects on Tubman's early life as Araminta Ross, born into slavery in antebellum Maryland, and the formative experiences that shaped her resistance to oppression. Clinton covers a traumatic head injury Tubman suffered, her deep religious faith, and the spiritual visions that guided her. She also explores Tubman's marriage to John Tubman, her escape to freedom in 1849, and her leadership in rescuing enslaved people. Prof. Clinton also delves into the dangers Tubman faced under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, her work with prominent abolitionists like John Brown, Frederick Douglass, and William Seward, and her service as a Union spy and military leader during the Civil War. Additionally, Clinton reflects on Tubman's later life in upstate New York, her advocacy for women's suffrage, and her enduring legacy in American history. In closing, Prof. Clinton reads a passage form her biography, Harriet Tubman: The Road to Freedom.

What if uncovering a family story you never knew could change the way you see yourself and the world? I believe family history has the power to do just that.Back in 2019, Ancestry and SundanceTV premiered a documentary short at the Sundance Film Festival called Railroad Ties. This film explores the legacy of the Underground Railroad and its lasting impact on the descendants of both those who were enslaved and those who fought for their freedom.Before you listen to this episode, I encourage you to watch the film. You can find it here: Watch Railroad Ties on YouTubeAfter watching, join me for an insightful interview with Gayle George. She shares how discovering this story not only connected her with ancestors she never knew but also inspired her to preserve and honor their legacies. From emotional revelations in old court records to the powerful act of marking unremembered graves, Gayle's journey illustrates how knowing our roots can deepen our sense of identity and belonging.Discover more about Gayle's work and the legacy of her ancestors at WeemsThePeople.org and Awakeningho.me._______________________________________________Please rate and review this podcast and then share it with your family and friends.For ideas on how to connect more deeply with your family through family stories, follow Crista on Instagram @CristaCowan.

After escaping slavery, Tubman made some 13 missions to rescue approximately 70 enslaved people, including her family and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known collectively as the Underground Railroad.

The Bissell House Joins the Underground Railroad Network to Freedom full Debbie Monterrey explores the Bissell House's addition to the National Park Service's Underground Railroad Network to Freedom.

Colson Whitehead is one of the rare authors to win the Pulitzer Prize twice. The first time was for his novel "The Underground Railroad" in 2017, loved by Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey and made into a TV series by Oscar-winning director Barry Jenkins. It led to him being on the cover of Time Magazine, the first author in nearly a decade to grace the front page since Jonathan Franzen. Colson Whitehead was honoured again for "The Nickel Boys" in 2020 – adapted into a film due out in the autumn. He is in Paris at the Festival America and for the French release of his novel "Crook Manifesto". The multi-award-winning American author speaks to Eve Jackson about his crime trilogy set in Harlem.

In 1858, Cincinnati, Ohio is the second most populated city, per capita outside of Manhattan, New York. It is also one of the final destination spots for the Underground Railroad, freeing runaway slaves from the oppressive south, and the young and evolving sport of baseball, takes it's roots in the city. In 1869, the Cincinnati Red Stockings become the first professional baseball team in America. This week, we examine the long and storied history of baseball in the Queen City, including a rich Negro League tradition, the rise and fall of Riverfront Stadium, and the construction of today's baseball cathedral The Great American Ballpark, where the Reds have called home since 2003. #CincinnatiReds #RiverfrontStadium #GreatAmericanBallpark #CrosleyField #BigRedMachine #RedStockings #RedLegs #TownBall #BomDeBeck #WilliamCoolidge #UnionCricketClub #EdRoush #FrankRobinson #PeteRose #JoeMorgan #CincinnatiBengals #CincinnatiTigers #CharlieGrant

On this episode, I spoke to sound designer Luke Gibleon and co-supervising sound editor Paul P. Soucek about their work on The Fall Guy.  Gibleon is a 5x Emmy nominee for his work on Avatar: The Last Airbender, Masters of the Air, The Underground Railroad, El Camino and Twin Peaks. He is also a 4x MPSE Golden Reel Award winner for his work on The Underground Railroad, Greyhound, Togo and El Camino. He has also been nominated for The Continental, John Wick: Chapter 4, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, Game of Thrones, and A Faster Horse.  Soucek is a 2x MPSE Golden Reel Award nominee for his work on John Wick: Chapter 4 and Michael Clayton.  MORE ABOUT THE FALL GUY: He's a stuntman, and like everyone in the stunt community, he gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and dropped from the highest of heights, all for our entertainment. And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job. What could possibly go right? From real life stunt man and director David Leitch, the blockbuster director of Bullet Train, Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde and Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and the producer of John Wick, Nobody and Violent Night, comes his most personal film yet. A new hilarious, hard-driving, all-star apex-action thriller and love letter to action movies and the hard-working and under-appreciated crew of people who make them: The Fall Guy. Oscar® nominee Ryan Gosling (Barbie, La La Land, Drive) stars as Colt Seavers, a battle-scarred stuntman who, having left the business a year earlier to focus on both his physical and mental health, is drafted back into service when the star of a mega-budget studio movie—being directed by his ex, Jody Moreno, played by Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt (Oppenheimer, A Quiet Place films, Sicario)—goes missing. While the film's ruthless producer (Emmy winner Hannah Waddingham; Ted Lasso), maneuvers to keep the disappearance of star Tom Ryder (Golden Globe winner Aaron Taylor-Johnson; Bullet Train) a secret from the studio and the media, Colt performs the film's most outrageous stunts while trying (with limited success) to charm his way back into Jody's good graces. But as the mystery around the missing star deepens, Colt will find himself ensnared in a sinister, criminal plot that will push him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt. Inspired by the hit 1980s TV series, The Fall Guy also stars Winston Duke (Black Panther franchise) and Academy Award® nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once). From a screenplay by Hobbs & Shaw screenwriter Drew Pearce, The Fall Guy is produced by Kelly McCormick (Bullet Train, Nobody, Atomic Blonde) and David Leitch for their company 87North, and by Ryan Gosling and by Guymon Casady (Game of Thrones, Steve Jobs and executive producer of the upcoming series Ripley) for Entertainment 360. The film is executive produced by Drew Pearce, Entertainment 360's Geoff Shaevitz and the creator of the original Fall Guy television series, Glen A. Larson.

In this first episode of a three-part series, we'll introduce the early part of John Brown's life and his crusade against slavery. Among today's topics, we'll have the ethics of punching a Nazi, how the beating of an enslaved child set Brown on his path, how both pro and anti- slavery forces used Christianity to justify their stances, racism masquerading as philanthropy, the Nat Turner rebellion, grief & PTSD, the Underground Railroad, the murder of Elijah Lovejoy, and much more.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! The Cheney Mansion in Jerseyville, Illinois, didn't start out as a stately mansion. Its history traces back to 1827 when it was known as the Red House. It was the area's first frame house with two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs. Over the years, it was not only a home but a stagecoach stop, a tavern, a doctor's office, and a bank, and it even had a cistern that hid slaves searching for freedom on the Underground Railroad. Over the years, the small Red House went from four rooms to a sprawling mansion of more than 12,000 square feet. Thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers, the home is in remarkable condition. This might explain why some former residents still remain in the home. Several spirits seem to still reside in the Cheney Mansion, including a former owner, P.D. Cheney himself. But he's not alone. Today on the Grave Talks, Part Two of our conversation about the history and the hauntings of the Cheney Mansion with Roger Scheffel.

As part of its recent "100 Best Books of the 21st Century" project, The New York Times Book Review is interviewing some of the authors whose books appeared on the list. This week, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Colson Whitehead joins host Gilbert Cruz to discuss his 2016 novel.

Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander of Norfolk State University in Virginia joins Clay Jenkinson to discuss unresolved race issues in the United States. Dr. Newby-Alexander is the author of an important book, Virginia Waterways and the Underground Railroad. During the 18th and 19th centuries more than 100,000 enslaved people found their way to freedom in Canada via the Underground Railroad, many of them taking advantage of the myriad of inland waterways in the eastern half of the US. The Underground Railroad was not a single path from southern states to Canada, where slavery was illegal. It was a complex and exceedingly dangerous network of land routes, water passages, safe houses, secret insignia, always just a step or two ahead of the slave catchers and kidnappers who were complicit in the perpetuation of slavery in America.

 And there appears to be one favorite emerging. Listen as Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary sings that man's praises and credits him for encouraging O'Leary to make "his best investment ever." A new poll shows voters under 30 aren't buying Bidenomics as Instagram encourages users to "reconsider" following Tucker Carlson. PLUS - a powerful discussion with a 75 year old survivor of child sex trafficking. How Dr. Juliette Engel is blowing the lid off the disgusting exploitation of children and launches a crusade to fight back with her own Underground Railroad to save the youngest victims.

In this episode, Lillian Holden — a Chicago-based environmental educator — introduces us to the African American Heritage Water Trail, a 7-mile stretch along the Little Calumet River and the Cal-Sag Channel that flows through the south side of Chicago. Highlighting over 180 years of African American history, the Water Trail includes historical sites linked to the Underground Railroad, the Tuskegee Airmen, and the environmental justice movement. It also features ecological richness and abundant wildlife, including many species of birds.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

This episode narrated by Marcus Rosten explores the history and the birdlife of the Niagara River Corridor. Just downstream from the falls, Long-tailed Ducks and Bonaparte's Gulls call out near the site where the Haudenosaunee and other Native American groups would portage around the falls. Niagara's churning rapids prevent ice from forming, making it a year-round fishing spot for half the world's species of gulls. The rapids were also the final hurdle for Freedom Seekers on the Underground Railroad journeying to Canada.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?
