Title A name given to the resource <h4>Quilt code</h4> Subject The topic of the resource <h4>underground railroad quilts</h4> Description An account of the resource <h4>This quilt, on display in Jacksonville, Illinois' Woodlawn Farm historic site, is represented to illustrate the Underground Railroad's reliance on quilts to communicate secret information among fugitive slaves. Folk tales about such quilts claim that their knots and patterns told about how and where to travel. For example, a monkey wrench pattern directed slaves to carry their tools. A flying geese pattern pointed the direction slaves should travel. The bow tie and shoofly patterns directed slaves to wear better clothing than they did as slaves, to avoid detection in cities. A drunkards path pattern directed slaves to travel in a zig zag pattern, which, not coincidentally, was also the alleged pattern of safe houses. The star pattern directed slaves to follow the North Star. But underground railroad quilts, as a tool of freedom seekers, is a myth. The myth of the quilt reflects the fact that fugitive slaves and their allies communicated in secret, but relies on false assumptions about slave catchers’ naivete and slaves’ involvement with, and dependence on, a domestic production of white middle class society.</h4> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource <h4>Woodlawn Farm historic site</h4> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource <h4>1840-1860s</h4> Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource <h4>Woodlawn Farm historic site</h4> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource <h4>jpeg image</h4> Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context <h4>WIUGRR #14</h4> Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant <h4>Illinois, United States</h4> Type The nature or genre of the resource <h4>image</h4> antislavery Illinois Military Tract myths quilts slavery Underground Railroad https://timroberts.org/wiugrr/files/original/8aa521f32d17b260cdc1cd9c40c26e86.jpg f290232d1d9724faffd9ebd5839d2078 Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Susan "Aunt Sukey" Richardson gravestone Subject The topic of the resource <strong>African American agents in the Underground Railroad</strong> Description An account of the resource <strong>In 1842, indentured servant Susan “Sukey” Richardson, her three children, and another woman, Hannah Morrison, fled north from Sparta, Illinois, assisted by William Hayes, a neighbor of Richardson’s master, Andrew Borders. Borders had brought Richardson as a slave from Virginia. Hayes was inspired by opposition to slavery of his church, the Covenanters. He, Hannah, and the Richardsons traveled by foot and steamboat to Farmington, but were caught and jailed in Galesburg, before its antislavery committee freed them. Sukey and Hannah remained free, but Borders kidnapped Sukey's children and returned to his farm; the family never reunited. Subsequently, Sukey married a free black man named Henry Van Allen. They had three children together, but in the early 1850s he disappeared, leaving her with their three children. Sukey then married Thomas Richardson, a widower who had also escaped on the Underground Railroad. She operated an Underground Railroad safe house, and helped found the Allen Chapel A.M.E. Church, the oldest African American Church in Knox County. She died in 1904 and is buried in Galesburg's Hope Cemetery. </strong> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource <strong>Friends of Hope Cemetery</strong> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource <strong>Gravestone added to the Richardson gravesite in 2004</strong> Type The nature or genre of the resource <strong>image</strong> Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context <strong>WIUGRR #19</strong> Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant <strong>Illinois, United States</strong> Allen Chapel A.M.E.
