Today we go on a field trip to Cincinnati, Ohio to visit the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.  We will be speaking with Dr. Spencer R. Crew who was named the executive director of the Freedom Center in 2004. 

The web address of the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is www.freedomcenter.org.  The site is quite large and extremely informative. 

Please note that we have changed our title from "Waynesville Wanderings" to "Waynesville Voices".  Thank you.

Our intro music is Mozart's Violin Concerto in G, Third Movement Rondeau, K 216, performed by David Oistrakh.  Used with permission, see Internet Archive, http://www.archive.org/index.php.

Today on "Waynesville Voices" our guest is Rosalie Yoakam, a free lance reporter, writer and columnist.  She contributes two columns to the "Dayton Daily News".  One is a personal column; the other is a local history column.    She is also an active member of the Springboro Historical Society. 

Rosalie will be telling us about the Bedford family of Springboro and their involvement in the abolition and Underground Railroad movements. She will also tell the story of the Great Springboro Rescue which included many of our local anti-slavery people and UGRR conductors. 

See Rosalie's written column about William S. Bedford on The Mary L. Cook Public Library ~ Ohioana Room site: http://www.mlcook.lib.oh.us/Microsoft%20Word%20-%20William%20S.%20Bedford.pdf.
