"The Underground Railroad"

Here's another program at the library to celebrate Black History Month.....

Join local author, adventurer, teacher and explorer Rick Rhodes on Friday, February 12, at 2:00 p.m. as he walks you through the history of the Underground Railroad. He has researched the journey of African-Americans from the shackles and chains of slavery in the Old South to a new land of freedom and eventual liberation. Admission is free and both kids and adults are welcome!


Captain Rhodes has more than just a few stories to tell, and his passion to share American History with audiences is infectious! His programs focus on some of the lesser-known historical facts and are enhanced by a multi-media slide show. Rhodes, whom some people call a “History Detective,” has researched and written eight guidebooks. Wherever he’s been, he has engrossed himself in local history, and he has a passion to share this with readers.
