This is one of those astonishing historical events I’m surprised I’ve never heard about and should be the subject of several Hollywood movies. Imagine being one of the guys who took the Middle Passage *back* and started again

“The presence of Black seamen was especially important for stowaways. Sailors were known to stack the heavy bales of cotton in a way that created spaces where slaves could fit and to provide them with food and water during the voyage.” —Eric Foner

The Underground Railroad’s Stealth Sailors | Eric Foner

The web of Atlantic trading routes and solidarity among maritime workers, many of them Black, meant fugitive slaves’ chances of reaching freedom below deck were better than over land.

you guys gotta prepare yourselves for real on what you will do when an ICE raid happens in front of you. remember SALUTE when reporting. REPORT IMMEDIATELY! call the hotline BEFORE you post on social media, BEFORE you text your friends, BEFORE you engage with ANY state or federal officers.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

“We must always take sides.

Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”
