      Enhance your US History/African-American Studies class plans with this study guide for Season 2 of the acclaimed WGN America Original Series UNDERGROUND. This gripping saga of a group of slaves who escaped a Georgia plantation on the Underground Railroad, and the abolitionists who joined them in defiance of the law, reveals the heroes – including Harriet Tubman – who rose up to fight for freedom for all, knowing that freedom meant laying their lives on the line for others.
