サマリー
William and Ellen Craft were an extraordinary couple born into slavery in Macon, Georgia—he in 1824, she in 1826. Ellen’s very light skin allowed her to pose convincingly as a young white male “plantation owner,” while William played her enslaved valet. In December 1848 they embarked on a daring 1,000-mile journey by train and steamboat, passing through slave-holding states before reaching freedom in Philadelphia. Settling first in Boston, they became active abolitionists, published their bestselling memoir Running a Thousand Miles for Freedom, and toured the British Isles speaking against slavery. After the Civil War they returned to Georgia, bought their own former plantation, and helped other freed people build new lives.
