Description:
The story of the Underground Railroad is a tragic one but also one that is full of hope. Victims of the most inhumane atrocities, the slaves in America courageously tried to escape their oppressors by organizing a road towards a land, the north of the United States and Canada, which promised them freedom. For these escapees, physical freedom was as important as the right to read, write, draw or paint. Inspiring themselves from the past generations that lived peacefully on the African continent, they learned once again the movement of creation. Hence, iron was no longer for chains but for sculptures, and wood for engravings and not for batons.

This book is a tribute to the people who found strength in times of great adversity and who are admirable for the ways in which they sought to find an escape. This epitome of human courage is brilliantly related to us through the words of Bryan Prince.
