Subject: UNVEILING THE UNENDING STORY OF THE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM...
This is a well-written article. The description of the programme, the presentation of the various celebrity participants and the choice of words are some qualities that make the article unique from the hundreds of articles I have read this year about events. Reading about the Underground Railway Centre has brought back memories of my secondary school days in Sierra Leone when I held a big book in my hands called "Uncle Tom's Cabin" written by Harriet Stowe which was about slavery. As a little kid, that was the first book about slavery I read before reading "Equiano's Travels", also about slavery. I can still understand the impact those stories made on me about mankind's inhumanity to mankind. Thanks to Arthur Smith for writing this memorable article in order to refresh the mind of the world about an ignoble past (of slavery) that people of Sierra Leone and other places can never forget. Probably if I hadn't gone into the website of "EzineArticles", I wouldn't have ever heard about the opening of the Underground Railroad Freedom Centre.
