William Still and His Freedom Stories: The Father of the Underground Railroad Tate Don
From award-winning author-illustrator Don Tate comes a remarkable picture book biography of William Still, known as Father of the Underground Railroad.William Still's parents escaped slavery but had to leave two of their children behind, a tragedy that haunted the family. One day, a strangely familiar man came into William's office, searching for information about his long-lost family. As a young man, William went to work for the Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society, where he raised money, planned rescues, and helped freedom seekers who had traveled north.
As a result, he was able to reunite other families and build a remarkable source of information, including encounters with Harriet Tubman, Henry "Box" Brown, and William and Ellen Craft. Could it be?Motivated by his own family's experience, William Still began collecting the stories of thousands of other freedom seekers.
