Arthur J. Magida, writer in residence for the University of Baltimore's Klein School of Communications Design, writes about the Underground Railroad Experience Trail in The Washington Post. Magida traveled to the site in Sandy Spring, Md., inspired by the recent opening of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.
"The Underground Railroad Experience Trail, which opened in 2003, and the Smithsonian's new museum are putting the rich, thrilling and staggering history of African Americans into a healthy and bracing perspective," Magida writes. "They make African Americans' survival and fortitude tangible and real."
