Race to Freedom: The Underground Railroad is based on a little-recognized but extremely important part of U.S./Canadian history, when certain individuals, both black and white, stood up for their beliefs, putting their personal freedom on the line by helping gain the liberty of black slaves in the American South"--1994 Peabody Awards entry form excerpt."
