FREE GLOBALLY! The International Underground Railroad by Linda Cousins-Newton

Woven from the literary loom of Cousins-Newton's work as an ancestral storyteller, FREE GLOBALLY!--The International Underground Railroad is shared as "conversational history from the heart--with a touch of humor." The work gives an account of the Underground Railroad's extension from the United States to varied global terrain ranging from The Bahamas to Mexico, from Canada to Africa. She discusses the myriad cross-cultural global connections and coalitions involved, with specific attention to the Black Seminole contributions and freedom quests. Interlocked in the story's fabric are accounts of the author's personal experiences as a journalist, performer, and cultural traveler to varied global realms that the "liberty embracers" touched upon in their l9th century freedom journeys. Celebrating the daring International Underground Railroad liberty treks, the historian's digital artwork created in honor of the Black Seminoles graces the book cover.
