This review is from: Whispers of Angels: A Story of the Underground Railroad (DVD)

Ok, Ed Asner Hams this up a bit but it's still a good summary of the little known Thomas Garrett, arguably the greatest Underground Railroad Conductor in U.S. history.

This review is from: Whispers of Angels: A Story of the Underground Railroad (DVD)

This is a well-made documentary about the Underground Railroad and the abolitionists of the period who put in great effort to stop slavery. There are interviews with prominent historians which provide much insight into the Underground Railroad, which stretched from Maryland's eastern shore through Delaware, Philadelphia and further. These interviews are interspersed with reenactments featuring Edward Asner as Thomas Garrett and Blair Underwood as William Still, two important abolitionists on the eastern line of the UR. "Whispers of Angels" is an excellent production that can be used as a resource in classrooms for Social Studies, Language Arts, and History. Total running time is 60 minutes.
