This study will attempt to answer several questions. What is the UGRR story in Philadelphia? Why is this story significant within the context of Philadelphia? Once the story is understood, one can ask additional questions. Additionally, how can cultural institutions and heritage sites within Philadelphia effectively represent the story of the UGRR?"
