Ten students will get a lesson in history this summer as they bike the Underground Railraod, a network of safe houses and sympathizers who helped escaping slaves before the Civil War.

this is what happened today

Local high school students will commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War by bicycling 1,800 miles north, following the clandestine footsteps of runaway slaves. The Spoke ‘n Revolutions Youth Cycling group will take 10 high school students along the Underground Railroad from Mobile, Ala., to Niagara Falls, N.Y., this summer, focusing on the theme of freedom to commemorate the Civil War (well... they got THAT wrong). “This summer, we’re looking to do something that’s monumental,” said group co-founder Kevin Hicks.
