Oh run, run mourner, run.
Bright angels above.
----Traditional
The beating, the abuse, the degradation.
The words of this spiritual remind you that the only way to leave slavery behind you is to die....or to escape to the free North.
But how do you get there?
Which way do you run?
Which way do you go?
Is there anyone you can trust?
