“Legacy of the Underground Railroad” is an Interactive Learning Platform created to supplement and enhance the experience of our Underground Railroad exhibit at the B&O Railroad Museum.
Through numerous activities, students will be citing evidence, determining central ideas, and analyzing primary sources such as maps, photos, news articles and lyrics from the original song titled “Network to Freedom” composed by the lyricist Wordsmith.
Educators can also download our resources for a more engaging classroom experience.
This project was made possible through the support of the National Park Service and in partnership with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Wordsmith.
