Show Notes

In this episode, we explore the extraordinary life of Jermain Loguen.  Born into slavery in Davidson County, Tennessee to an enslaved mother and her white owner, Loguen would eventually be moved to Maury County, Tennessee before he finally made his escape from slavery to the North.  He eventually settled in Upstate New York, where his efforts to assist the enslaved out of bondage, made him known as the “King of the Underground Railroad.”  Join Tom, Jo Ann, and Texas State University Professor, Dr. Angela Murphy as they tell Loguen's important story.
