William Still Poradie kníh

William Still sa narodil do otroctva, no podarilo sa mu dosiahnuť slobodu a stal sa kľúčovou postavou v boji proti nemu. Sám sa naučil čítať a písať, čo mu umožnilo zastávať pozíciu tajomníka a neskôr predsedu Pensylvánskej aboličnej spoločnosti. Jeho húževnatosť a odhodlanie boli hnacou silou jeho práce pri pomoci stovkám utekajúcich otrokov na Podzemnej železnici. Využíval svoj domov ako útočisko a starostlivo viedol záznamy o tých, ktorým pomohol, čo neskôr viedlo k publikovaniu jeho diel. Jeho celoživotný odkaz zahŕňa nielen tento zásadný príspevok k abolicionistickému hnutiu, ale aj založenie sirotinca a pomoc pri organizácii prvej YMCA pre Afroameričanov.
