SUMMARY:African American Museum in Philadelphia
DESCRIPTION:Sailing to Freedom: Maritime Dimensions of the Underground Railroad \nOn View: September 13\, 2025 – April 26\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJack T. Franklin Auditorium \nAAMP is pleased to present Sailing to Freedom: Maritime Dimensions of the Underground Railroad\, a compelling traveling exhibition developed initially at the New Bedford Whaling Museum in 2022 under the co-curation of Dr. Timothy Walker and Michael Dyer. \nThis landmark project invites audiences to revisit and deepen our understanding of the maritime dimension of the Underground Railroad. It uncovers how enslaved African Americans\, in addition to overland routes\, undertook daring escapes by sea—charting covert paths along the Atlantic coast\, aboard merchant and passenger vessels\, and via lesser-known watercraft.\n​\nThis traveling version of the exhibition presents faithful reproductions of the original displays\, alongside new interpretive material that expands both geographical scope and historical insight. It offers visitors an immersive encounter with narratives of flight\, resilience\, and agency—stories of freedom pursued not only across land but over water\, and beyond the bounds of the United States. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails – visit the museum’s website click here\n\n\nShare this:\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n				Email\n			\n				Print (Opens in new window)\n				Print\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			Like this:Like Loading…

His experience working under Martin Luther King; his organizing the SLCC’s Operation Breadbasket in Chicago and beyond; and his roots in the deep South combined into two astonishingly impactful presidential campaigns. Appealing to the working people of urban enclaves like that of Chicago\, young people on college campuses\, and Black people across the South\, he created the modern Democratic coalition—one that has been used by all major Democrats seeking national success from Obama to Biden to Harris. \nWith her expert reporting\, natural storytelling skills\, and a story so full of humanity\, politics\, and hope\, Abby Phillip has written a rousing popular history that sheds new light on an American icon. \n \nAbout the Author: \nAbby Phillip anchors NewsNight with Abby Phillip on CNN. She’s also worked at The Washington Post\, ABC News\, and Politico. Throughout her career she has covered multiple presidents\, campaign finance\, lobbying and several presidential campaigns.
