“His house was an open home for visitors. We believe it was a stop on the Underground Railroad.”

“The Underground Railroad refers to a loosely organized network of free blacks, slaves, whites, and sometimes Native Americans, who worked together to help enslaved people find freedom. This network was more organized in some places than others. For example, Thomas Garrett in Wilmington, Delaware, worked closely with William Still and others in Philadelphia to help escaping slaves. Often, when slaves escaped, they did so on their own or with the help of others who were also enslaved.”
Carol Lloyd
“We're all made of stories. When they finally put us underground, the stories are what will go on. Not forever, perhaps, but for a time. It's a kind of immortality, I suppose, bounded by limits, it's true, but then so's everything.”
Charles de Lint
“Anyway, it's good to be sent back to the underground. There's always a good side to bad things and the good side to this is that at least everyone has to go back down.”
Joe Strummer
“only drive users underground.”
Nick Mason
“I was young and felt like it was opportunity 'cause they were moving units back then on the underground scene.”
Young Buck
“If there was no Velvet Underground there would have been no such record. Does that tell you what you need to know?”
