Underground Railroad History & Leadership tour
Join internationally recognized historian Linda Harris, Down Set Lead facilitator Rod Bourn, and Dr. Bergina Isbell as they guide you chronologically through the Underground Railroad on a modern coach bus.
Stopping at key sites (Cambridge, Buckstown Village Store, etc.) you’ll learn about how the UGRR operated, the decisions the conductors made, and why. The group then delves into how those decisions serve as lessons that can be applied in leading today’s organizations.
Included at a few stops, we will be treated to spirituals by Ms. Harris and musician David Cole, who will share the songs’ double meanings that served as coded messages for escape.
The coach bus leaves Annapolis at 8 a.m. and arrives back by 6 p.m. Light snacks and drinks are provided. A midday break will provide you with time to explore Cambridge and grab a bite at a local restaurant with the guides (food not included in price).
This tour is a blend of history and learning how to lead with courage, vision, and values, while drawing strength from stories of people who made impossible choices with profound humanity.
