One State/One Story: William Bush’s Journey to Freedom
Explore the stories a family object can tell with volunteer Eileen Baker-Wall as she shares the story of her great-great-grandfather, William Bush.
Bush, a freedom-seeker who escaped enslavement, came to Fountain City in the 1840s where he became a business and landowner and was known as the “captain” of the Underground Railroad efforts in town.
Site Manager Joanna Hahn will provide participants with connections between the story of William Bush and Tiya Miles’ book All That She Carried.
This program has been made possible through a grant from Indiana Humanities in cooperation with the National Endowment for the Humanities.
