This is a link to the Library of Congress podcast entitled Voices from the Days of Slavery: Stories, Songs, and Memories. When we briefly study the Civil War and The Underground Railroad in 2nd grade students have lots of questions about what it is and how it was used. They have trouble, at times, understanding it is not a real train but a network of people and places helping slaves escape. I would not use the entire podcasts with my class but would select parts to play for them and discuss. The podcast will work well with other sites and resources I use to help understand the Underground Railroad. [] The main site/resource I currently use.
