Born into slavery in Davidson County, Tennessee to an enslaved mother and her white owner, Jermain Wesley Loguen would eventually be moved to Maury County, Tennessee before he finally made his escape from slavery to the North. He eventually settled in Upstate New York, where his efforts to assist the enslaved out of bondage, made him known as the “King of the Underground Railroad.” Recent scholarship is leading Loguen to becoming one of the great names associated with early Civil Rights in America. Join hosts Tom Price and Jo Ann McClellan as they speak with Texas State University Professor Dr. Angela Murphy about Loguen’s remarkable life.
