Flee North is a Pulitzer Prize-winning account of Thomas Smallwood, an American abolitionist, liberator, and writer who led hundreds out of slavery and named the underground railroad. Born into slavery, Smallwood was free and self-educated by the 1840s. He and Charles Torrey organized mass escapes from Washington, Baltimore, and surrounding counties to freedom in the north. Smallwood documented the escapes in satirical newspaper columns, mocking slaveholders, traders, and police. The book offers a powerful narrative set in cities still plagued by racial inequity today.
