 As an Underground TV Show fan, I must admit that this is the only TV Show that I really watch because I am passionate about history, Black History which is part of American History. Underground is based on the book "The Underground Railroad" by Abolitionist William Still.

 The reasons that I am such an Underground TV Show Fan are empowering storytelling by Co-Creators Joe Polaski and Misha Green about the Revolution and the Occupation of American American People. The Underground is produced by John Legend so the music of the show garners the attention of the millennials with its  upbeat versatility. John Legend also portrays Frederick Douglass. John Legend reminds me of Frederick Douglass Great-Great-Great Grandson Kenneth B. Morris Jr..

We are looking forward to seeing more of John Legend portraying Frederick Douglass in Underground Season 3. We are especially awaiting the meeting between John Legend as Frederick Douglass and Aisha Hinds as "Minty" Harriet Tubman.

It would be great to have the entire cast film Underground episodes in the Eastern Shore, Maryland as it is the birthplace of Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass whom are two of America's Greatest Abolitionists. Harriet Tubman was born in Dorchester County about 1822 and Frederick Douglass was born in neighboring Talbot County in 1818. The Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Park and Byway is a must visit to experience Harriet Tubman's Legacy. Register for one or our upcoming Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Tours.

Frederick Douglass was an abolitionist, orator, author, and statesman. He was a millionaire who born into slavery during 1818 in Eastern Shore Maryland. He escaped slavery with the help of his first wife Anna Murray Douglass in 1838. He was a self-educated man who taught himself to not only read and write but to become an excellent speaker. He was an advisor to President Lincoln during the Civil War for the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Frederick Douglass Home in Cedar Hill is located in the Anacostia area of Washington DC. is valued at about $1.6 million in today's economy. Frederick Douglass and his son Charles Remond Douglass developed an all Black Vacation Community in Highland Beach Maryland. Frederick Douglass made his money from speaking engagements. This afforded him the ability to own two homes: a 21 room mansion and a vacation beach home thirty after the end of slavery.
