The Real Story Behind the Man Who Named the Underground Railroad ...Middle East

Time - News

Harriet Tubman is the most famous “conductor” of what’s known as the Underground Railroad, the network of safe houses that helped enslaved Black Americans in the South escape to the northern United States and Canada in the 1850s. But she did not come up with the term ‘underground railroad,’ and the man who did has been largely forgotten by history. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The phrase dates back to a different operation of escapes organized by Thomas Smallwood (1801-1883), a Black shoemaker who worked near the U.S. Capitol building and a father of four children. Between 1842 and 1844, Smallwood helped the enslaved Black servants of government employees escape to Canada
