His Promised Land The Autobiography of John P. Parker, Former Slave and Conductor on the Underground Railroad

"If civil rights seems like ancient history to today's students, it's hard to imagine anything that would rescue the abolitionists and their Underground Railroad from the dustbin of our history. But 'His Promised Land'...is the book to do just that....Parker's account is always vivid, often violent, and told with a sharp eye and bold directness that makes events spring to life....Parker's story testifies that even in our most violent conflicts, conscience has no color."Parker, John P. is the author of 'His Promised Land The Autobiography of John P. Parker, Former Slave and Conductor on the Underground Railroad', published 1998 under ISBN 9780393317183 and ISBN 0393317188.
