Underground Railroad in Ohio

Valerie Boyer Introduces Her Program

Valerie Boyer, School and Inclusive Programs Coordinator at the Ohio History Connection, provided an educational and entertaining examination of the codes and hidden meaning in Negro spriritauals that guided travelers on the Underground Railroad. The presentation exposed the subleties of the lyrics and music that formed the codes followed by participants on the Underground Railroad that most of us had never noticed or heard of. The presentation very clearly showed that the Underground Railroad was much more that routes and stations. Its character and features where hidden within the culture. In the words of one participant, the presentation was "eye opening." The audience filled the Powell Municipal Building East Room, was engaged start to finish, and produced an extended question and answer session. If you enjoyed the program, either live or via video, please leave a review for Valerie on her website. Leave a Review.
