The Underground Railroad: Authentic Narratives and First-Hand AccountsIn the winter of 1852, a group of Philadelphia abolitionists dedicated to assisting runaway slaves in their flight to freedom formed a new assistance group to be part of the Underground Railroad the General Vigilance Committee. William Still, himself a son of slaves, was named its secretary and executive director. Deeply moved by the stories of the fugitive slaves he helped conduct northward, Still took his committee record keeping to a higher level.

In the winter of 1852, a group of Philadelphia abolitionists dedicated to assisting runaway slaves in their flight to freedom formed a new assistance group to be part of the Underground Railroad--the General Vigilance Committee. William Still, himself a son of slaves, was named its secretary and executive director. Deeply moved by the stories of the fugitive slaves he helped conduct northward, Still took his committee record-keeping to a higher level. He wrote down, in eloquent narrative form, every detail of their stirring, often heartbreaking histories.
Second only to the great Harriet Tubman in the number of freedom-seeking "passengers" he conducted through the Underground Railroad, Still let the words of former slaves speak for themselves. In his journals, he painstakingly reproduced vivid accounts he heard from their very lips. And he added excerpts from letters, newspapers, and legal documents to the already arresting biographical sketches, creating unforgettable portraits of the slaves' deadly struggles, brutal hardships, and narrow escapes.
When the Civil War ended and slavery was abolished, William Still published his journals as The Underground Railroad. It is considered the most complete firsthand account ever written of the men, women, and children who rode the legendary "Railroad" to freedom. This edition includes a new Introduction and 20 illustrations from the original publication.

Didn’t live up to the hype.
I had high hopes for this product. I’ve seen it all over social, but for me it didn’t live up to the hype. Although it is very moisturizing, it never dries down. There’s no way I could apply makeup over this, as the ads might lead you to believe. If you want a good night time moisturizer then this product is for you.

No Good
So I got this under the impression by the videos online that this was really concealing under the eye and it’s not…very oily and hasn’t done anything for under my eyes at all! Scam!

Deep cleans without irritating
My skin feels soft and amazing after using the pore cleansing oil. I use it to do facial massages and then rub away the things clogging my pores. It leaves my face so incredibly smooth and clean. I use the pore minimizer and it feels very nice on the skin, and the pads are good for when you have so me free time for self love.

Can’t say enough love
I got the trio set and I absolutely love this line. My face is so soft and hydrated. It doesn’t irritate it and I have very sensitive skin. This is hands down the best skin care line I have used!
