You Won't Believe How This Secret Group Altered History on the Underground Railroad!

Updated: Dec 13, 2025

Did you know a 4-foot-tall vegan living in a cave was actually the spark for the abolitionist movement? 🤯 Benjamin Lay smashed a bladder of red juice in church to expose the truth about slavery a century before it was popular, inspiring the very people who built the Underground Railroad.


Then there’s Thomas Garrett, who lost his entire fortune to fines but told the court he’d "open his doors again" to keep the secret routes alive for 2,700 people—including Harriet Tubman herself!


Along with Anna T. Jeanes, who defied the 1900s status quo by ensuring her millions went directly to Black educators, these rebels prove that true resourcefulness is about how bravely you use what you have.


Want to harness their power?

In the Heritage Owl Underground Railroad Star board game, they form the ultimate Resources Card, giving you the secret supply of food, tools, and clothing needed to survive the journey.
