Today, we’re going on a walk to see a tree that has been a witness to the Underground Railroad. It’s a tree that sheds light on Quakers and slavery. A tree that’s been around as long as the United States.

So, put on your sneakers and take a walk with our producer Georgia and historian James Shields as we uncover the rich history of brave Africans seeking freedom and the Quakers who helped them through these North Carolina woods.

NEWS!
Join us for our free Zoom event, Help! There’s An Election Coming! on Tuesday, October 1 at 7 p.m. Eastern with Diane Randall and Emily Provance. We'll talk about how Quakers can engage meaningfully during and after this election season.
