Celebrating National Park Week: Telling America’s Stories

Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff and Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland will hold a virtual event to announce 16 new listings on the National Park Service’s National Underground Railroad Network (UGRR) to Freedom Program. The new listings join more than 670 sites in 39 states, Washington, D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands already in the Network, each of which provides insight into the diverse experiences of freedom seekers who bravely escaped slavery.
