Underground Railroad Teaching Partnership of Long Island

"The Underground Railroad moved fugitives from slavery station by station
  to a place where they would be free. Those involved in it were heroic
  people who endangered their lives and personal liberties to help others
  achieve liberties of their own. For that reason, its story is among the most
  vivid examples of courage and personal sacrifice in our nation's history"

The celebration of African American History has allowed educators to incorporate new historical facts into their classroom curriculum. Simultaneously, there is a need for quality curriculum and quality instruction to best address these issues.
