DESCRIPTION:Sunday, Feb. 15, 7:00 PM\n\n\nBerkeley Fellowship of Unitarian 
 Universalists’ Hall\n1924 Cedar (@ Bonita), Berkeley\n\nAs this 
 documentary shows, the Underground Railroad, "the first civil rights 
 movement," was no mere act of civil disobedience. The secret network of 
 guides, pilots, and safe-house keepers (the Railroad's "conductors") was 
 built by runaway slaves who, over the decades, communicated their 
 experiences through songs and secret gestures, and were supported by 
 abolitionists (many of them former slaves) who risked their own freedom to 
 help free the enslaved. The "passengers" risked their lives. This history 
 comes alive in the individual stories of conductors and passengers, among 
 them abolitionist and historian William Still, called the "Father of the 
 Underground Railroad," and Henry "Box" Brown, who mailed himself to freedom 
 in a cargo crate. They (and many others) take their place beside Harriet 
 Tubman and Frederick Douglass as courageous heroes in America's first 
 integrated social movement.\n\n\n\nPresented by BFUU Social Justice
