Join the Friends of the Rudisill Regional Library for this quarterly Brown Bag Book Discussion. Bring your brown bag lunch or have lunch on us. 

The Underground Railroad traces the journey to freedom taken by countless slaves, showing how they were guided, protected and pursued along the way. The extraordinary story is told through historical documents, visits to important sites, interviews with the descendants of noted abolitionists and commentary from experts.

Quoc Vo, president of the Friends of the Rudisill Regional Library, will lead the discussion. 

The event will be held in the Greenwood Room.
