Pathway to Freedom
For the 2015 season, Pathway to Freedom will be performed as a dramatic reading.
Pathway To Freedom is an exciting account of the struggles and heroism in the 1840's and 1850's, along the Underground Railroad from North Carolina to Indiana. Both individuals as well as some of the organized religions fought slavery in the legislature and on the farms; while others, like Levi and Katie Coffin of Guilford County, led volunteers and free slaves in clandestine efforts to help escaping slaves to freedom.
The story centers on George Vestal, son of a slave owning family, and how and why he became a worker for the Underground Railroad. Events trace the actions of slave families in their hope of gaining freedom and dignity.
A story of conflict, action, and support of human dignity, this story urges us to work for what ought to be. It is a story about family courage. It helps to explain our past and shines a bright light into our future.
