Summary: "The Place I Call Home brings together many voices to revive this forgotten history. From the past and present, black and white voices combine to awaken a very different understanding of "The Underground Railroad." Myths are challenged and misconceptions revised. Black Americans are returned to their rightful place in history, as pro-active participants in the Anti-Slavery Movement of the nineteenth century. An examination of that era's model of community unearths the recorded words of concerned citizens, black and white, addressing issues of national concern."--Back cover.
