The theme of this year's Black History Month is Black Resistance, and not many places spotlight this better than the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.
While Black history gets extra spotlight during the month of February, it is being studied year-round at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati.
The museum is located on the banks of the Ohio river, where many enslaved people took their first steps on free ground. The museum looks at the contributions of freedom conductors and historical figures who fought for freedom, such as Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass and more. According to the National Park Service, many freedom seekers used natural waterways such as rivers and man-made channels to reach freedom, which is why Cincinnati was a landing spot for many in the South seeking freedom.“I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can't say — I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger,” Tubman said in 1898.
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is hosting an event this week focused on Black Resistance.
