The Underground Railroad and American Memory

Dr. Turley will provide a review of the Underground Railroad as the product of the work of black and white southerners committed to an evangelical cause of freedom written about in Dr. Turley's latest book Gospel of Freedom: Black Evangelicals and the Underground Railroad. This book tells the story of Dr. Turley's ancestor's journey from slavery to freedom, who eventually settled in Powell County, Kentucky.

This program is a joint presentation of the Scott County Historical Society and the Scott County Public Library.
