It took George Taylor 4 weeks along the Underground Railroad before he achieved freedom. In the following decades he got married, adopted a child and helped to found a still active church community in Kansas before settling in Birmingham, where he became the village’s first Black property owner. Come along with us as we trace George’s epic journey and talk about our continuing research into Birmingham’s Underground Railroad Connections.
