The Underground Railroad chapter

 

Cora is happy that there will be a meeting where the blacks and whites will attend. The African community will be able to express their grievances. He establishes a relationship with women at the Hub, and they can share their experiences. Personally, I think her journey of healing occurs when she discovers there is a way out she can run from slavery, and this gives her hope. (Gara)

Lumbly says to Cora, “if you want to see what this nation is all about, I always say, you have to ride the rails. Look outside as you speed through, and you will find the true face of America” Cora realizes the freedom she will get once she moves past the tunnel, and this drove her towards escaping and seeking a freedom she much desired.

As Valentine’s approach, there is a huge debate among the legally free African Americans, and their argument is based on “respectability” the argument was Africans to be given an opportunity to live their life equally as the whites so that the whites will acknowledge there are no different from them. Other did not approve of this idea because it will justify the merits of the rules set by whites. If the “respectable “Africans were to stay like the whites, the whites would assume the legal system they have set is working, and this will make the legally free blacks to be complicit in the system of slavery like the whites. The second argument was on the abolishment of movement, and as Africans advocated for this move, they were considered as threats by the white valentines says “”the master said the only thing dangerous that a nigger with a gun. Was a nigger with a book”. My thoughts are on the liberation of Africans. They must not conform to the laws of the white to prove themselves but should be treated as equal as is part of their human rights.
