 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=4903\n\nIn "Heroes of the Under
 ground Railroad in Alexandria and D.C. in the 19th Century\," Dr. Jenny Ma
 sur\, National Capital Region Manager of the National Underground Railroad
  Network to Freedom\, will conduct an engaging discussion of the Undergrou
 nd Railroad in Alexandria and in Washington\, D.C.\n                      
   \nHow many times have you driven past the 10 foot-tall bronze statue of 
 two African American women on Duke Street and wondered what it signified? 
 Join the Alexandria Historical Socety at this lecture and discover the sto
 ry behind sisters Emily and Mary Edmonson\, daughters of a free black man 
 and enslaved woman who attempted to escape to freedom aboard the Pearl in 
 1848 with nearly 80 other enslaved people.  The teenaged girls were captur
 ed and transferred to the Bruin Slave Pen on Duke Street\, once located wh
 ere their statue now stands.  With help from their father and abolitionist
 s including Harriet Beecher Stowe their freedom was purchased and they wer
 e rescued from a life of slavery.\n\nDr. Jenny Masur has worked on the Nat
 ional Underground Railroad Network to Freedom program for 13 years.  She w
 ill also discuss an escape from Alexandria Harbor on a ship called the Reg
 ulator and the story of Leonard Grimes\, a man who was prosecuted for assi
 sting freedom seekers. Dr. Masur\, a 1990 and 2004 Fulbright Professor and
  expert on the Underground Railroad in the National Capital Region\, will 
 introduce the audience to the National Underground Railroad Network to Fre
 edom and its definition of the Underground Railroad as "resistance to slav
 ery through flight\," whether by sea or by land.\n\nLocation: The Lyceum\,
