In celebration of Black History Month, the historic Fair Hill Cemetery in Germantown is an important component of Philadelphia's history and a place that holds stories that should never be forgotten.
Ilyon Woo's new book, "Master Slave Husband Wife," tells the story of William and Ellen Craft, an enslaved couple that fled Macon, Georgia and traveled all the way to freedom in Philadelphia. The Crafts made their journey on public trains, with Ellen disguised as a rich, white man afflicted with rheumatism.
In 'Master Slave Husband Wife,' Ilyon Woo follows a wife and husband who escaped by posing as a white man and his caretaker, then fought for abolition.
