DESCRIPTION: \r\nTopic — Underground Railroad in Iowa\r\nSpeaker — 
 Allie Shambaugh-Miller\r\nIowa and the Midwest are often left out of narra
 tives about the Underground Railroad, yet the state played a central role 
 in the fight against slavery.\r\nIn this presentation, you will learn abou
 t the flight of enslaved African Americans from Missouri and other slave s
 tates into abolitionist towns in southern Iowa. From here, many freedom se
 ekers traveled north to free states and Canada, although some settled in I
 owa cities such as Des Moines for their entire lives.\r\nThe stories of fr
 eedom seekers and conductors buried in Woodland Cemetery in Des Moines wil
 l further exemplify the role of central Iowa in the Underground Railroad.\
 r\n \r\nPARTICIPATE IN PERSON OR ONLINE.\r\nIf you would like to receive
