Description
Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom details the escape of Ellen and William Craft from slavery in Georgia in the United States.
Well publicized at the time, the married couple became celebrities in the abolitionist struggle.
Their daring and risky plan meant passing the light-skinned Ellen off as a white male traveling with 'his' slave, William, as no woman would have traveled alone with a slave at the time.
Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom gives a unique historical opportunity to witness a first hand account of notions of race, gender and class as they stood in a nineteenth century society which treated them as fixed and defining.
