Five Minute Histories: The B&O and the Underground Railroad

Did you know Henry Box Brown escaped enslavement by shipping himself inside a wooden crate on the B&O Railroad? The journey took 27 hours from Richmond to Philadelphia in 1849. Join us inside the B&O Railroad Museum to learn about the enslaved people that used the B&O Railroad as part of the Underground Railroad. The museum has a fabulous new exhibit, The Underground Railroad: Freedom Seekers on the B&O Railroad, that you can go visit today. And we are delighted to be joined by one of the exhibit’s curators, Jon Goldman, to tell us about it! Thanks for watching and see you soon with another video. This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." Every week, we’ll record a short video about a different historic place in Baltimore and post it on our Facebook page and YouTube channel. #baltimore #fiveminhist #undergroundrailroad #borailroad #Blackhistory #Americanhistory
