Underground Railroad: Final Project Interview

This is the oral history of Caroline Quarlls and her journey through Johnsons Park, told by her Great, great, great granddaughter Kimberly Simmons. It was interesting hearing the story opposed to reading about it and seeing all of the roles and help she received, also the various connections between Caroline Quarlls and residents in Waukesha, Milwaukee, and other cities she fled through.  It was interesting to think about because despite the fact that there was so much racism and prejudice in Milwaukee, there were and still are people who believed in equality and justice.
