Incredible night at the Quest for Freedom Fundraising Gala for the Underground Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, planned for Columbia, PA. πβ¨
Got to hear from Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Eugene Robinson, who shared pieces of his own family history tracing back before the Civil War, and architect Zena Howard, whose vision for the museum framed it as more than a building β a place designed to make people feel the story of courage, risk, and freedom. Got to meet them both afterward, which was a full-circle moment.
I ended up at a table full of Quakers for the evening β incredibly welcoming, and it hit differently knowing my daughters attend a Quaker Friends school. Made me realize how much I didn't know about Lancaster County's role in the Underground Railroad, and how close to home this history really is.
Leaving inspired to learn more and get involved with the museum's work. This is a project worth watching. π
