Task 3 - Important People

Important People

Without the help of many influential and heroic people, the Underground Railroad would never have been a success and thousands of slaves would never have even been able to whisper the dream of freedom. These helpers came from different upbringings, had different jobs, different religions, and different friends, but they all shared a common thread...that they believed the institution of slavery was wrong.

Choose 2 of these important people (if you are working alone) or 4 of these important people (if you are working with a partner).

You goal will be to write a brief biography about each. Be sure to explain who they were and what role they played in the railroad. Include at least four important events and/or accomplishments that the important person did (in the correct order).

Keep track of the websites you use to research these important people and enter these on your bibliography (see bibliography page for more detail on this) Click Here

Be sure to include AT LEAST 2 images per person, along with the websites of the pictures for the captions.
