My parents took me there almost 50 years ago and I still remember that vividly!! I remember those small doors, and imagined what it would be like to have to hide there and how scared they must have been.... really powerful!!
ACTUALLY that building WAS MY ANCESTORS! Thomas and William Bulla, my great x$ grandfather and uncle, were a couple of the VERY FIRST STATION MASTERS for the underground railroad! How dare y'all try to make it ONLY BLACKS! Us Irish-Quaker/Cherokee/Blackfoot ex slave families demand you show THE BULLA FARMHOUSE and tell the REAL story! OUR ancestors loved those black slaves because our family were Dutch-Irish Quakers KIDNAPPED (3 brothers! Thomas, William, and another who jumped a train to Illinois) from Ireland and brought over AS SLAVES! They helped the Irish-Dutch, Black, and Native American slaves get set free!
Nobody cared about love . People wanted to be free . They could have loved them from a distance but as soon as slaves were freed it was still a problem!! Look at today in 2022!! Racism is the root to all evil! The crisis in america
Please learn to honor people's humanity and evolve your language! They were NOT "SLAVES". They were ENSLAVED PEOPLE, Africans, individuals - chose whichever humanizing noun that you'd like, but stop referring to these PEOPLE by their oppressed condition/commodity code.
The underground railroad in America was Indian history... both the INDIGENOUS AFRICAN AND AMERICAN were melanated ppl of different shades. YEP! WE'RE THEM!
The coded blanket thing was 100% real I have three of them. my 6th removed great grandmother stitched them by hand I swear those blankets are haunted particularly one blanket adorned with rose wreaths
I remember this, not much in school after, Nicolette though would say to the day na me all of your attention on me me😮 which is good until you find out she has nothing to say I lie
@@sevenft3 what the heck is wrong with you. The Underground Railroad was a true phenomenal that did exist you ignorant. This country was build upon the mass murder of natives and forceful possessions of their lands and the enslavement of Africans.
@@gonzalojaquez96 it’s obvious that you’re truly the ignorant and misinformed one here. This country wasn’t built on mass murder, but Invaded by people vicious intent. Just imagine thousands of people trying to hastily escape to freedom in such crammed space and harsh conditions….it’s common sense

You really think they still teach this in every school. No way !
This is also for parents to teach.
@@BBFLYRISEN community organizations and congregations need to teach this if they care anything about the people.
Dunbars 2nd House I lived was like this ❤❤❤
Quest would stay they could hear Ghost talking from this hole in the wall
The rooms were not drywalled. They were ceiling rafters of holes under the floors. Dark and dank.
The underground railroad in America was Indian history... both the INDIGENOUS AFRICAN AND AMERICAN were melanated ppl of different shades.
YEP! WE'RE THEM!
To hear someone say...show me your free papers is very alarming 😢😮
Who doesn't know what the underground railroad was? Wtf🤔
Right?
Y'all would be surprised..
Do you remember the first time you were told about something? Chances are very high that someone knew about it before you.
Other people from around the world. I'm Latina and I didn't know. Now I know. I bet that not many Americans know others cultures history either.
Nobody does..sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it’s a fictional story
Small Space? Are you serious

Lmao probably both
The coded blanket thing was 100% real
I have three of them. my 6th removed great grandmother stitched them by hand
I swear those blankets are haunted particularly one blanket adorned with
rose wreaths
Free papers !!??? Wtf was wrong with these people .
Exactly
These was our ancestors not these people

I’m surprised to hear this about Indiana since they enjoyed hanging blacks to the point of making post cards of the events.
“Blacks”????
@@ONIKAFORM correct

The people who you are continuously trying to classify as “black” are the true Indian of this land
