Walking tour: Harriet Tubman and The Underground Railroad in Philly. Two tours of antislavery sites Valerie Russ, The Philadelphia Inquirer © DAVID MAIALETTI/The Philadelphia Inquirer/TNS Visitors take photos of the Richard Allen statue during a stop at Mother Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia. If you know the story of Harriet Tubman, you know the road to freedom passed through Philadelphia, an important stop on the Underground Railroad, the network of secret routes and shelters for fugitives escaping to free states and Canada. And Philadelphia abolitionists, Black and white, were major figures in the movement. You can learn this part of Philadelphia history by walking the city. It’s a good way to engage with Philly’s Black history in a way that’s also safe during the pandemic.
