Summary

It’s Black History Month, and Chris and Yannis bring you one of the wildest slave escape stories in history: The incredible tale of Ellen and William Craft. You won’t believe the ingenious plan they executed to escape from captivity in Macon, Georgia—a journey that led them to freedom in Philadelphia, then to England, and eventually back to Georgia years later. Their remarkable story is not only a testament to their enduring love and courage, but also to their lifelong commitment to helping former slaves secure their freedom.
